Lying as a whole is seen as a bad thing, when you lie to others or yourself – no good comes out of it so why would you give yourself the impression of something only to be let down in the end. There are times when you want to believe a lie because the truth is too hard to accept but the fact of the matter is that the truth will come out at some stage. When a boy breaks up with a girl, she can lie to herself and believe with all her might that he will come back to her. The feeling of hope builds up inside her which hides her sorrow only for it to be unleashed when she sees him with another girl and reality hits her.
We are only building up disaster when we lie to ourselves. The better person is the one that will accept the truth even when it hurts them the most. When we lie to ourselves we lock ourselves up in a box of isolation only believing our own thoughts and cutting ourselves off from the world. I’m sure we have all heard the saying: “The truth will set you free.” why would you want to lock yourself up by believing your own lies when there is so much to see in the world.

The quote "the truth will set you free" is so true. If you lie, you carry a burdon around with you.
ReplyDeleteWe all are chickens. We prefer the lie, because we are scared of the truth and the battle that comes with it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we must start except the truth and fight the battle. We might not win, but at least we had a practice session. After all, practice makes perfect.
