The truth shall prevail. This is a very popular statement, but is it true or is it just another lie? Another statement: Honesty is the best policy. Is it?Truth - the meaning of this simple word has been drastically changed by people depending on their principles about it. The truth must be absolute, it should be objective. But as the society dictates, it is the opposite.
The truth is no longer the truth but it is what people believe no matter if it is a lie. But who invented lies? Why do people lie?
The main purpose of a lie is to cover up the truth. Lies are told because there is fear - fear of the consequences of what the truth might bring. Indeed, the truth doesn't always give us a happy ending. There are times that we have to accept the fact that the truth hurts - difficult may be but this is part of life.
Countless people have told lies (including me) in order to cover the truth - truth that can be painful, truth that can be shameful. But then I realize, if we don't want to unleash the truth, then why not just avoid it? Isn't it better to be silent and keep our mouth shut than to talk and tell nothing but lies?
Let's analyze the two options:
Telling lies - completely wrong
Being silent - not wrong but doesn't justify that it is right
So I'll just leave this question to you, which is a better option?
Hint: Choose the lesser of two evils.
