About lies!

It’s been about three years since I read the book ‘Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult’. I didn’t find the book to be really amazing, and I don’t remember most of the story but this one quotation on the book cover remains with me forever.

I have always been a person who discourages lies and prefers to be told the truth, no matter how hurtful it is. Why should one lie in the first place? Isn’t saying the truth much easier, one doesn’t have to remember what he has said. When lieing, the person has to remember what he said, if forgotten, the truth will reveal.

Coming back to the quotation, why does it say about believing in the lie? It’s actually about believing in the person. Sometimes we trust someone to such a level that we believe whatever he/she must be saying is the truth. We refuse to believe their lies. That is how they cheat, that is where treachery takes birth.

I am thankful to my creator for blessing me with the ability to see beyond the lies. I know people so closely in my life that when they lie, I know it. I pretend to believe them because I have no proof at the time but the truth unfolds with time. Be it a week, a month, or a year, the truth is never hidden from me. I never doubt a person right away for the lies, maybe he/she was scared to hurt me and my happiness matters a lot to them. I always confront the person, some knowing my temper confess the truth while some try to cover their lies further.

When someone becomes a close friend or an important part of my life, I always warn the person. I warn him/her not to lie to me because I will find out. The person never believes that I have such a strong connection with my creator that he unveils the truth to me, and still tries to fool me. The result is that they lose an honest person from their life. I have always been a caring and loving person but once I find out a person is lieing, how can I ever trust again? And when there is no trust, there is no care and no love at all.
