The Saddest Truth About Lies
As a little child do you remember your mother or a significant adult cautioning you against telling "little white lies" because it could lead to much bigger lies that could eventually hurt you and others? The funny thing is that when you tell a lie you must tell another lie to cover up for the lie you've just told. Before long your lies are too numerous to keep track of. You may forget what you have said because lies can be difficult to remember. Lies may come back to haunt you and sooner or later you will need to tell the truth or you will have to live with these lies. Hopefully as you get older you will realize that lying does not pay off. But for some people lying becomes their way of life and they convince themselves that their lies are the truth. If you don't want to become one of 'those' people, only you can change yourselves by practicing verbal harmlessness along with truthful deeds and truthful thoughts. Speak with integrity, politeness, peace and kindness. By doing this you may come to realize that verbal harmlessness is the better way.
Lies are negative energies that can take the form of gossip. As gossip grows and spreads, the 'truth' becomes distorted and a vicious circle is formed. As other people repeat the lies, thoughts, and ideas, what emerges is often mistaken as the truth. Lies have the tendency to be hurtful for people and for the person who originally told the lie. Lies are destructive and cause much pain and suffering that can lead to much drama, chaos and misunderstandings. Lies have the ability to travel everywhere and at times are so huge that we all must pay the price because of the consequences that it brings. It is important to practice discernment in making wiser decisions and choices in life. Every person has the responsibility in discerning what they are contributing to each other and to society. We're all in this world together and we can make a difference - one person at a time!
Here are three ways that can be helpful in making a difference.
1. Practice verbal harmlessness. Speak with love, kindness and peace with no intention of harming others. Speak with integrity and compassion.
2. Changes occur through attitudes so do not allow fear to be your constant companion. There is only love and fear. Choose love and you will find happiness, peace, serenity and comfort.
3. Focus on the joy within you. Joy is the most important state of being. Keep the focus within you and when you're feeling this joy then you can easily create and expand the joy around and outside of you.
Honesty is the best policy. Lessons and stories have been told around the world with honesty as the universal theme. When you are honest with yourself then it is easy to be honest with others. The reality of having an honest lifestyle seems to lend itself to a more peaceful, loving, kind, caring and joyful life.
