There is a motto I have always lived on which is "tell me the bitter truth even if it will cost me my precious eye stream of water than telling me lies so I can give a beautiful smile".
Sometimes we try finding excuses for some mistakes we make because we think we are doing the right thing for the people we love, protecting them from getting hurt and preventing them from feeling sad but then we fail to realize that the hurt feeling they feel is actually not as deep as the wound it brings to them upon realizing that they were lied to.
We even go as far as crediting it a great attractive name just for it look nice that we are doing the best thing cos what else would justify naming a lie as being white?
So those horrible lies were what? Rainbow?
No lie is bigger or smaller, a lie is a lie.
Some people may prefer it though. They don't want to face the hard truth but rather embrace the wrong path simply because it brings comfort. I don't want that so I don't do it either no matter how you may want to see me as. It is better that I keep silent about it than tag it as a white lie.
Just like a phrase I came across some days ago, that there are so many things we keep silent about but hides a lot of truth. That is, we know that saying the truth may hurt, cause relationship to fall out, break out in feelings but then we chose the path of remaining silent about it rathan lying about it in the name of protecting our so-called loved ones.
It does not mean that the truth wouldn't surface ever again but then it didn't came out to be a lie at the first instance.
If I am right, I think we once wrote on a prompt of "LIE OF OMISSION " here in Hive Learners and we had several inputs from writers with different views. So it got me thinking while writing this, that even when we kept silent about the truth so that we don't get to lie, does it still amount to be a lie? Like a Lie Of Omission.
All the same, in my own perspective, I feel like it's still best to keep silent than saying a lot of things that withhold lies and deceits.
A relationship kept and built on lies, no matter the kind of love attached or the kind of bond we want to keep strong, it is prone to getting destroyed and shattered right in our presence at any time with no prior notice Just like a house built on poor foundation or sand,it won't last long as expected.
In summary, be it white lie, Red lie, Blue lie or any shades of colour we may want to give to our lies as name dedication, it still doesn't justify the wrong act of what we do. Being plain and maintaining relationships on truth makes it more stronger and help keep the right circle you can ever need for a positive growth.
