One of the unwritten codes of life is ‘anything that is obtained
through lying has to be kept through MORE and MORE lying’.
Unfortunately, when this trend continues unabated, lying
becomes second-nature, destroying every iota of integrity and honor one might
have. Oh! what is left of life when integrity, honor, respect and trust are all
traded for ‘morsels of meat’ that
lying attracts?
Lying, as some now prefer to call it ‘alternative truth’ or ‘occasional
slip of tongue’, is like the offensive stench from a decaying product
or the obnoxious smell that comes from the defensive spray of a Skunk.
Great destinies
are halted when lying (like many other
ungodly vices) drives a habitually iniquitous lifestyle.
Liars are free to aspire for greatness and occasionally may
occupy a great position by lying. The dilemma however is that their ‘alternative truth’ approach to life
catches up with them sooner than imagined. Liars are generally a shame to
behold after a while.
My humble plea - choose Truth and don’t seek an alternative to it. Deal with the seed of lie before it turns into an over-grown forest of regrets and pains. Come
to the Cross quickly for a true rebirth; the Truth Himself is waiting with open arms.
And remember, truth promotes and
projects, falsehood demotes and devalues.
