A Lie Can Change Your Life...Forever!

It’s not that I’m some kind of a saint that I’m propagating the virtue of telling the truth always, neither am I a devil, giving tips on how to say lies, if you want to tell one! As a child I really hated having milk before leaving for school and one day I ended up sneaking and throwing it into the sink and then telling mom I had it all! But then I was so bad at this art of telling lies (I fumble a lot while telling a lie and I’m not that good at making stories on the spot) that mom caught my lie and like all mothers do to threaten their innocent children she told me she will stop talking to me if I didn’t have that weird liquid(read as milk) everyday. Moral of the story: small children can never lie to their mothers :)

Getting back to the topic, I feel the worst of people have a good side to them, God has designed us that way! Whenever we lie or do something that we are not supposed to there’s always an inner voice that pricks us, that keeps telling us that we are wrong. But for some or the other reason we suppress it! I’m not telling we should never lie, come on, we are humans after all! We do have times when we think that telling a lie is a best way out! Blame it on the circumstances, the pressure from outside world etc.etc. you told it for someone’s good, you just wanted to play a prank on someone…finally a lie is a lie! We had our results put up on the net and I was supposed to see my friend namrata’s results, she was declared failed then(it was false, after reevaluation she passed) and I had to convey this thing to her…I simply couldn’t tell her the sad news and went on to lie that there were problems with the site. I wish I could tell her the truth, I know she would have been very anxious to know the results. Telling a lie is breaking someone’s trust and according to me that’s the biggest sin you can ever commit.

Once you have lied, you cannot revert things, the only thing that you can do to preserve the trust people have in you is confessing. You may be punished for it, but that guilt within will definitely subside with time and people who love you will definitely come back! I lost a person I liked the most to a lie and I don’t even know if I will ever be forgiven but I know for sure that by confessing I have done what I could on my part!
