Truth or Dare?

I've found that there are a lot of people who lie, but there are always those people who think that it's best to always tell the truth. Both of these things are wrong, for both of these things end up hurting people.

If you lie, then, eventually, that lie will be back fire. If you tell your son that you're going to be able to make it to his soccer game, even though you know that you have a big meeting that you just can't miss. Your son has faith that you're going to be there, but his poor, tiny, adolescent heart his broken when he sees that his father not in the stands. Or if your wife asks you if her new dress makes her look fat. Of course, any husband would say, "No, you look great honey" even though she does look a little chunky. If you lie, somehow, no matter what, someone always finds out the truth, and their hearts are broken. If you get home late one night, and your husband asks you where you were, and you say, "I was just out at the grociery store. They didn't have what I wanted, so I'll have to go back in a week or so" when really, you were out sleeping with his best friend. Eventually, lying hurts the person you lied to and you.

But, telling the truth isn't always the best thing, either. If, once again, your wife asks you if her new dress makes her look fat, you don't just say, "Yeah, you look big in that dress," even if it is the truth. You could say something like, "Just a little, but not too much. Besides, no matter how big one silly little dress makes you look, nothing can ever hide your beautiful smile." Than, everyone's happy! If a friend asks you to go shopping, you don't just say, "No, I don't want to go shopping with you. You're too slow when it comes to shopping. You can take forever just on one pair of shoes!" Instead, maybe say, "Sorry, but I just don't feel like shopping. Thanks for the offer anyway."

So, really what I'm saying is; Lying is okay, but just not all the time. Just a tiny little lie can go a long way in any direction, mostly one that leads right of the side of a cliff. Occasionaly, that little lie will sometimes take you to the peak of the mountain, but you just might fall off of the top at some point.

PEACE OUT!!
