Lying

Lying is so necessary, judicious lying even more so. We live in a world where there are more questions than answers. We can't say we don't know or at least prefer not to say we don't know. This one thing adds to lying so much that most of our day pass through crossing this path of lying more than the river of truth.

All previous wise men have always told us not to lie, the thing is they did. They knew the power of lying. People stand on multiple views. The only way we can come out of such a pool is to lie and lie well. Truth has its place, I don't deny but a lie can achieve far more than a miniscule truth. A lie is the bed of wisemen. They breathe and sleep on it. They know lie is more urgent than a truth. This life of urgency is a life full of lying. To find a truth is as difficult as digging a well in the midst of a desert. Sometimes people are digging more truth in order to lie than to disclose the truth.

This raises the age old question whether truth is more faithful or lie. If we dig a bit deeper we can say readily that lie is a more faithful friend than truth is. A chameleon lies, in the midst of danger, to protect itself. Better speak a lie to protect than tell truth to destroy.
