They say the truth is bitter, but how about lies?
If the truth is bitter, then lies are sweet?.
Most people know how to twist a story in other to create a lie in defense, they could be used to it and maybe they escape sometimes. But those who are used to the truth find it difficult to tell lies, no matter how crafty they are. The funny thing is that the lies keep piling up as a lie leads to another, but one who is observant will realise the lie isn't leading anywhere and decide to say the truth.
But some will also make up their mind about not telling the truth, knowing how it will affect their status in the society if the truth is known. They may also make up their mind to stick to the lie but vow silently not to indulge in anything that will make them tell a lie again.
A very good truth seeker has an advantage over a lieing individual( especially if the lieing, is not used to telling lies) because the truth seeker is determined to get to the bottom of the situation, while the lieing individual is always under pressure and in thought, thinking of the next step to take, this makes it easier for the truth seeker to pin the lieing individual down as a suspect and the lieing individual stuck between giving up and saying the truth or keep piling up the lies.
Biblically, Lieing is considered a sin, and truth is considered a liberator. The bible also states, "The truth shall set you free". Yes, the truth shall set you free, but at what sacrifice?. Most times when we commit a crime, and about saying the truth, we think of the sacrifice we are gonna make, if the truth is known and so, we decide against telling the truth, this is were the saying, "Truth is bitter" comes in. And sometimes, when we garner some courage to say the truth, we may actually not end up sacrificing anything, and so, our minds are set free without undergoing troubles.
Fact still remains, when we are in trouble, we are stucked with the fear of saying the truth, especially in deep situations.
Though the truth is a liberator, Can we ever garner enough courage to overcome the fear of saying the truth in all situation?.
