Lie (Luring system)

“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't bcome good, just because it's accepeted by a majority.”

―?Rick WARREN

A lie is a lie, but why are we lying?

My modest life experience has exposed me to both lying on the part of others and myself in the face of challenging circumstances. I observed that lying is a self-defense tactic used to avoid addressing the fact that we may have done something wrong, something that would make us uncomfortable, or anything that would have an adverse effect on things that are important to us: family, reputation, job, social status, business, etc.

“Everybody lies.”

―?Dr. HOUSE

Yes, everyone lies, and we all need to understand it. Everyone wants to be the exclusive source of truth, and when faced with challenges, problems, and life hardship everyone wants to reduce unintended consequences. Yes, everyone would rather tell a falsehood than face an unpleasant truth.

Everybody lies, but how much longer?

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

―?Abraham Lincoln

A lie is a lie, and I know that one day this small lie will be exposed, and whatever you were attempting to disguise will be revealed to the public and the world around you (I hope your world is small). Whatever you want to call it, karma, justice, setback, truth... you'll have to face the shame of lying and justify your actions.

Yes, you will be required to explain and justify your actions because you owe this to the world and, more importantly, to your inner peace. Believe me when I say that you will need solid arguments to defend your case or you will lose. You'd rather tell the truth than make the mistake of covering up another person's lie.

“You can fool the world but you cannot fool yourself and your inner voice”

Make peace with your inner voice

We understand how difficult it is to tell the truth even when it means compromising material, personal, and/or public interests. It's like dropping a bomb to tear down what has been built and begin again in the process of creating something new. ?It's destroying a reputation that took years to build, destroying an image that has been reflected for years, destroying trust that has been built over time, and so on.

But, when compared to destroying oneself through one's own internal anti-luring system, through this inner voice that guides us all, through the feeling of having committed an offense, through this internal war of evil and good, we all realize that telling the truth is a thousand times better.

“You are not better than others, it's just that your sins are different from theirs”

― Youssoupha (MON ROI)

Yes, relax, my friend; you are a normal human with complex, one-of-a-kind, and exceptional abilities. Even lying is a skill, a sophisticated luring system that can save your life in life-threatening situations.

My friend, the only thing you should be aware of is the nature of the sin you are committing when lying. Be careful, my friend, whether it is to save your life or to ruin the lives of others; the border is very thin, and the luring system has consequences that one very precise and simple lie can be either beneficial or collateral.

The end or possibly the beginning

Yes, my friend, everyone lies and you should be aware of it, everyone lies and this is not a bad thing, everyone lies and hopefully they do, everyone lies and they/we are aware of it, everyone lies and this is human nature, everybody lies and this is it.

Now you know, my friend, my friend, that a lie is a powerful luring system that has the power to change or shape the face of the world. One last piece of advice before I drift away:

“Lie, my friend, but use it wisely and wait for the bill you or someone else will have to pay.”
