It's all the same with lies.

It starts with little white lies. Then comes the occasional lies. What's next? Full blown lies?

White lies. Occasional lies. Full blown lies. It doesn't make any difference. whatever you call them, they are still LIES.

The common thinking, "What they don't know won't hurt them," and "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. " is a lame excuse. It only makes you more of a coward. Why can't you just come out in the open and be honest to what you know, how you feel, what you did, or whatever area in your life where truth is to be told? Telling the truth won't hurt. Don't you ever feel guilty every time you tell them your little lies?

Beware. There's also a saying: " A single lie discovered is enough to create a contagious doubt over any other truth expressed. "  Once you've been found out. Dang. No turning backs. You can make your excuses, but there's already the TAMPERED TRUST. Despite the fact that you have been forgiven by the one you've lied to and eventually have forgotten what happened, you cannot deny the fact that things might never be the same again.

True, you guys can talk, hang out, but you know and feel that something has changed and it could never bring back what it was like when their trust on you was still intact.

Forgiveness, yes, it can be given immediately but to earn back the tampered trust? NOT SO EASY.

In the first place, getting to know someone and earning their trust is not something you earn right away. You have to earn every ounce of it.  What more with tampered trust?

YOU HAVE TO WORK TWICE OR EVEN THRICE AS MUCH TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF THEIR TRUST--TO BE TRUSTED. AGAIN.

So, you want these things to happen? Go on. Continue lying. And eventually, you'll be labeled as nothing but a LIAR. You wouldn't want it right?

Just remember this, lies are like poison. The more you use it, the more it will torment you inside.

What to do then? SIMPLE.

Just be true to yourself. Be true to whatever you would say, do feel, and act.

It wouldn't hurt you to say what you really wanted to say, do, feel, and act. :)
