Truth Triumphs On Its Own, Lies Need Help
Of course, we’ve all been through situations that we didn’t know exactly how to get out of. The truth is that each path has its own difficulty, especially when you yourself are the one who put you in that situation.
Lying sometimes seems like the best answer, because it’s the easiest option in the short term. However, lying is like entering an alley that has many detours, but no exit. And most likely we will get lost in it.
With lies we not only deceive others, but also ourselves
While lying about some aspect of our lives may seem like the most appealing option at times , we would feel much better about ourselves in the long run if we always put the truth first. Whether we’re ashamed of something or aware that we’ve messed up, it’s always best to be honest with others. If we don’t, we will deceive ourselves .
We are not perfect and therefore we have the right to make mistakes. But it has been proven that lies condemn, while the truth upholds itself. So you have to be consistent in your actions, accept what you have done wrong and therefore put yourself in the shoes of the people you have wronged.
Telling the truth can be painful at first, but it will help us in the long run, and the people we’ve hurt will appreciate our effort. And this in turn will help us respect and forgive ourselves as well.
Lies are holes full of abysses
When we are honest, our environment stands alone. We are aware of the positive and negative things between us. People who distance themselves from our world do so because they somehow don’t fit into it. And this simply means that we weren’t meant to share our world with them at all. It means we are not compatible.
It may be difficult to see that some people are not attracted to the things we give them. However, it also makes us realize that the people who do stay with us appreciate us for who we really are. And isn’t this reason enough to be proud of ourselves?
Mark Twain once said, “If you tell the truth, you’ll never have to remember anything.” And it is indeed true that being honest is the best medicine for relaxing and being at ease in life. However, the opposite is also true: our everyday life would cause us a great deal of tension by forcing us to somehow perpetuate the deception.
In the long run, the truth is the easiest way
Nothing comes close to the sense of satisfaction we experience from telling the truth. It may be difficult at first and you may even receive some criticism for what you have done. But the peace that truth sows is incomparable to the illusion that a lie creates. Being honest with others helps us to mature and appreciate ourselves as human beings. Because being honest is the brave option.
So, even though it may seem harder to accept at first, it’s the best decision you can make. In the long run, it will make your journey so much easier than lying would. Lies keep feeding themselves to confuse everything around them.
The trust that others have in us can be regained by surrounding ourselves with the truth, for the foundation of the truth is so much stronger than that of a lie. If we do our best to be honest and sincere with others, we will also be honest with ourselves. As a result, others will praise us for this.
Be honest with yourself and with others. Always choose to treat others the way you would want others to treat you. That way it’s so much easier for them to answer the same way.
