“We
all lie all the time, despite the fact that it costs us considerably more
mental effort to lie than to tell the truth”. So what’s the point of lying?
Like, what do you get in return? Does it last forever?
“TRUTH
MATTERS”
It’s
something that, I have been learning while telling myself since I was a
teenage girl. ‘Deciding on whether to tell the truth or not, it is one of the
chaotic moments you can have in your life’. It is when you will be arguing with
yourself if it is worth speaking the truth or maybe keeping it for yourself.
But if we look on the other side of the picture regardless of the consequences,
speaking the truth matters for our relationships and most importantly, our
mental wellbeing.
There
is nothing I find wrong and hard to do than lying to myself since, “dishonesty begins with self”. Now if
we step out of that, “self-dishonesty” it
is when we will start telling the world a different story. Meaning, when you
stop lying to yourself that you enjoy that job you are pursuing, it is when the
world will see ‘YOU’ for who you are in terms of your innermost potentialities.
“STEP OUT OF THAT SELF-DISHONESTY CELL”
We
all know that, “lying comes from fear”. We scared how the world is going to
perceive us BUT how about we focus
more on how we are going to look at ourselves if we keep on repressing the
truth and our feelings? See, in most occasions we lie consciously by thinking
that, it’s for the best. We think that, we protect and spare people’s feelings
by not telling them the truth, but if we were to be wiser we would have known
that, we cause more pain by lying to them. I have been through that road and I
know how hard it is to face someone and speak the truth but I will keep on
doing it again and again for the rest of my life because it is what sets me
free (THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE).
So
I want you guys to answer this question on the comments below, ON WHAT OCCASIONS DO YOU LIE? And lets
be honest here because we want to learn from each other’s experience but if you
are too shy you can just do it anonymously. So, by concluding this, lets go out
there to whoever needs to hear the truth we’ve been holding for weeks, months,
years and who knows, maybe it might be a starting point for something new in
terms of relationships, spiritual wise and even our careers. “SPEAK
THE TRUTH EVEN IF YOUR VOICE SHAKES”

truth hurts, but lies hurt even more.....its healthy to live a truthful, honest life. than always wondering what if.
ReplyDeleteThruth dignifies a person no matter how difficult and painful it is to tell. ..lies temporarily comfort a person thinking that is the only way not to destroy the relationship we have with the person we lie to
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly. It's just so sad how most people don't understand this. Thumps up!
DeleteIt's fantastic dear I agree with always we have to say the truth
ReplyDeleteWe occassionaly speak the truth to protect another persons feelings...sometimes its wise to just lie eg in relationships
ReplyDeleteSo what if a person finds out that you lied at the first place?, don't you think that, it will cause more damage than if you could've said the truth before?
DeleteA lie becomes a lie once the truth is totally hidden.and ofcourse,some truth are best hidden at any cost.
DeleteHaha. I know right!!, you don't want to cause a heart attack to a person😂
Deleteactually most occassions needs our lies than truth. Truth may really set you free but it may set you really free (loosing) from a lot of things, jobs, opportunities, family relationship and many other conditions. When there is a need to lie is better to do so and let the truth be revealed later on when all who participated on it are almost forgetting or at low tempers.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fact no one like truth but it depends in conditions we face at a
time.
����i like this thing coz i have been an expert lier, but not now haha
nice article though������
Hahah. This is interesting. Well I hear you but what happens if you do not wait long to speak the truth? And in your area of expertise, wasn't there a time you forgot that you lied to a person and screwed up things?
Deletehaha there will be an internal feeling of guilty, eager and wanting to free a certain heavy load u carrying. So its a bad feeling actually and you may loose your freedom coz u just feel that death deep inside haha.
DeleteAhmmm actually i have screwed a lot of things up because of these lies but i stopped after realising how bad it was then turned into a good boi but still there those little lies will ramain hahaha

DeleteSome things are better off if left untold😂😂😂
DeleteA good example is the expensive utensils like drinking glasses that I broke during childhood.. Well I burried them n kept my mouth shut, it saved me from being scolded.. And no one knows till today😂😂
Anyway, my other point is that..sometimes lying can be the best option at the moment n sometimes the worst.. Just explore all negative n positive consequences.. Then decide what to say(truth or lie)
Hahahahah,childhood experiences indeed👌. Well yeah! I think figuring out the impacts before the doing part, worth everything!!thank you Provie!

wow keep doing the great work it's inspiring
ReplyDeleteSometimes we lie just to avoid questions and wired looks after telling the truth. Some people just cant handle the truth no matter how simple it is. But all in all truth sets us free.
ReplyDeleteExactly,,it's just the fact that people will give you that judgy face after you speaking the truth and that's what turns most people off in saying what they really have to say. However, I believe that, regardless of all that, you still have to let the truth out.
DeleteReal talk😎
ReplyDelete👊
DeleteYah, so fact and I'm so touched with your idea you make me remember the importance of this thanks madam
ReplyDeleteIn honesty I can lay someone when I know the real information or thruth I have was so pain for someone I want to share with. And I can't did may be i like like but because i want to make him/her to be in a normal condition that why I'm laying
ReplyDeleteIf you live in TRUTH you will be free and feel comfortable in each and everything. Life is so complicated when you lie... because you will have to FAKE each and everything to be as the way you lied.
ReplyDeleteQn. How do you feel when you lie? Where will you place those people whom you have lied?? How will it be once they come across the TRUTH??
will you be friends anymore or you gonna be enemies?? Will they TRUST you anymore??
When I lie, it hunts me a lot and that's why it's very rare for me to lie. letting your close ones hearing the truth from other people, it's one of the heartbreaking moments you can ever imagine. So speaking the truth and letting everything out is good for both souls.
