This one might be a bit long, so bare with me if you will...
I was just watching a movie about what is better, to tell the truth or to lie and spare someones feelings and it made me think of things I hve either lied about or told the truth and to wht end it brought me.
Now, I have always tried to tell the truth but I hve fallen short on a few occasions... if you have not then stop reading now for you are a saint and need not tarnish your soul with my wonderings. As I was saying, on some occasions I have done the right thing and told the truth only to lose things and/or people who were dear to me.But then again, I have lied and have had the same outcome...so which is better??
For me, I had decided a while ago that the truth is always better because at least I knew I did the right thing. I try not to hurt when telling the truth but sometimes, as they say, the truth can hurt. I fear that our society favors lies to get what we want or to spare others. If we are judged in the end will heaven be short some souls?
I am open and honest with my children for if they can not trust me then who can they trust? And I hope I am doing them a service by raising them with a bit of morals. I pray that they will grow up and pass these traits to their children. From where I stand we could all use a little more of the truth and a lot less codelling.
So, if you want to know the truth ask me, if not then I implore you to seek advice elsewhere. But then again, what do I know? The truth is different for everyone of us. So to you I may be lying right now...or perhaps not. I will leave that up to you for your reality is much different than mine.
My truth is that I am fallable, as are we all, but God created forgiveness for a reason.... To thine own self be true.
Thanks for reading my ramblings, hope they do a bit of good.
