Let me share something with you dear Readers (It will sound more like a rant, but really, I am just sharing): I hate liars.

What (or more accurately, whom) are liars? Liars are people who lie. Lie about what, I hear you asking. They lie, they just lie.

A lie is not measured by it being a big, humongous lie, or a teensy-weensy lie. Just as there are no good sins and bad sins, the same rule of thumb applies to lying.

It doesn’t matter if it is about something as insignificant as lying (through clenched teeth) to a dear friend about her thousand bucks designer dress that looks like a gunny sack, or if it is a case of cheating by sexual dalliance with another. IT. IS. STILL. A. LIE.

And lying, it isn’t just a come-and-go, once-in-awhile, only-when-the-need-arises habit. Humans are creatures of habit, yes, but the act of lying isn’t habitual. It is a CHARACTER FLAW.

I’m unapologetic about what I just said. Lying is indeed a character flaw.

People driven by the impetus to lie live their lives in denial and launch on a pre-meditated operation: Operation Cover-Up. Otherwise known as Deception. Or, to put it simply, Lying.

Lying is painting what is matte black and sheer white: murky grey. In life, there are no Grey areas. There shouldn’t be, if a person’s moral compass (also known as Conscience) is pointing in the right direction in the first place.

I hate it immensely when people lie to me. I hate finding out about the lie even more. The very thing that runs through my mind when the discovery takes place is this: WHY does a person has to lie in the first place?

Fair enough, I know speaking the truth in certain situations isn’t the easiest thing to do. The journey to speaking the whole truth often times isn’t the smoothest, I’ll agree to that.

I mentioned earlier that people who lie live in denial and they launch into an intended, pre-planned operation: Operation Cover-Up. Now, we’re getting somewhere!

The truth isn’t spoken because a detour has been taken, a shortcut somewhere along the way, skeletons in the closet have decided to play peek-a-boo... The causes are aplenty!

One reason stands, it doesn't take a genius to deduce the truth: A mistake was made, a wrong was done, a sin was committed.

Be man (or woman) enough to step up to the truth. Don’t shrink lower and lower into the pits of Deception, stand tall and own up to your mistake.

Remember that two wrongs do not make a right. Just because you screwed up the first time, does not mean that you have to go on living a screwed up life. Unwind yourself from the coils of Lying.

I want to believe again in the innate goodness of people, that they actually mean what they say; that words spoken aren’t cheap, that they are not empty promises and fake-coated.

I want to believe that words DO have weight, just like times of old; it is spoken only when it is meant from the heart.

This is the most painful part bout lying: “The worst thing about being lied to is simply knowing you weren't worth the truth.” - Unknown
