Dishonesty

How did it make you feel when someone was untruthful with you? We, too, live in permissive society that does not always show high regard for telling the truth. People tell white lies for some reasons, it can be good or bad for the persons involved with. I always say to my friends “telling the truth is foundational to relationships and clear conscience.” I admit, sometimes I tell white lies for good reason and purposes. But when someone who is close to my heart being untruthful it hurts me and even more painful as I expected. The friendship is in danger. When a once-trusted friend was untruthful to me I am left wondering if he will do it again. Friendship is like money, easier made than kept. I’ve always found it difficult to bury the proverbial hatchet. If I been wronged, it’s tough enough to let go even after the person says “I’m sorry” but to take the initiative in forgiving is down right impossible. To forgive is to forget, it’s easy for me to forgive but it will take time for me to forget and it keeps me wondering that he might do it again. The cycle repeats itself over and over. I want to free myself from a desire to hurt back I put and save myself from further harm. It is always important to tell the truth “If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” Only liars have to keep their story “straight.” Once, I’ve been untruthful with someone, I find courage to approach and apologize, and correct my dishonesty. We are all humans, we commit mistakes. Let us be an example to the believers with our words, our actions, our love, our faith, and our pure life.
