we live in a very complicated and complex world, were a lot is happening, the world in itself as turned upside down left is now right and vis versa, white is now seen as black, front is now back , like its how we have gradually normalize the act of lies and deception.
before now thieves and robbers, criminals will go on to cause mayhem and hide out then investigation will go on to fish out the culprit for now it's the other way round, criminals terrorist group them selves cause havoc still come out publicly to claim responsibility like to get noticed and say yes we did it.....
so lies are now normalize, the truth are gradually been swept under carpet, everything has changed and never the way it use to be...especially with the wide spread of social media, people lie their way to anything, doesn't matter who get hurt or whatever aftermath that happens, selfishness, selfcentredness , ego , pride all this are the bases for lies...
for me lying is a no no, I don't buy it, I don't accept it, I don't manage it, it's a total turned off for me, for me lying makes me feel less of me, it's like letting my guard down, another reason is I hate to prolong an issue, while we think lying now just covers it up its a lie in itself, deception is the easiest way to tarnished your self image
I was caught up in a web of lies recently about this and I felt so bad, like it wasn't necessary since it wasn't my thing to lie, like I hate to lie cause it makes the matter more complicated than it is, one lie that is said can go on to entangle other matter such that from one unnecessary lie to a web of lies that makes matters worst and complicated.
a long forgotten matter somehow leaked out and while I had forgotten about it, there it was staring at my face like saying "You think you can get away with this right?"
at that moment I'd feel so stupid of me, like there are no words to say now to validate my lying, I was defenseless, lying puts you in a tight tough corner that you're at the mercy of the circumstances that's why I hate lies, makes you look like a fool, dumb, stupid and useless.
growing up I've always had this right stand with the Truth, I really don't care what's in or how complicated the situation is, one of the reasons i intentionally do that is I feel more of me and I can express my self boldly defending my sef and the reason why I had to do what I did.
I rather say the truth and be bold and free than say a lie now and later get caught feeling ashamed, embarrassed, we often think that when we lie that's the end of the matter, what we did is just path the situation at the back and say hold on for a seconds let me go chill first, later we talk about it, meanwhile you could have dealt with that situation there and then and get it out of the way...
lying is very dangerous that's what people don't know, while you try to avoid the problem now it grows bigger with time and by the time the truth is uncovered the consequences is now like ×10, so deal with it now.
