An average human tells lies as young as three years old. From then on, they fabricate the truth to their advantage.

I didn’t use “they” to refer to a certain set of people. They here mean you and I, that’s what the statistics say, not me.

Whether you choose to believe that, you have, or will lie about something. Usually to avoid the consequence of telling the truth.

I could give you a lot of reasons lying is bad and why you should be truthful and honest with yourself and the world.

But what’s the point of that? Chances are that you’ve heard it somewhere. Did you stop lying after? What about the one you told yesterday or the one of omission? Of course it counts.

Based on Jordan’s explanation of this rule, this is a fundamental human problem. No one was born a saint, and it’s simply because our brains find it hard to accommodate outcomes it thinks will hurt.

So it comes up with lies to get away from facing what it thinks could have been.

The question remains, why do we lie?

Short answer- Fear

Long answer – we think lies hurt less than the truth.

We tell lies because we are afraid of being the person who tells the truth. We tell lies because it’s hard to look in the mirror and see our truth, to uncover past trauma or show who we really are.

We do not agree to be wrong, lest the world thinks us weak. We say we’re okay when we’re not because we haven’t healed from the betrayal of opening up.

We claim we’ll be happy when we have this or that, whereas we just keep trying to fill up holes that never get to the brim. We say we love someone but are only manipulating them for our own gains.

I do not intend to discredit all these reasons as I’m guilty as well. I just want to let you know there’s freedom from the facade.

It is in facing our fears that we find liberation, peace, and integrity to be truthful. It is then we’ll see that our dark sides are only issues that need to be resolved, not shoved aside.

That even if the world found out who we really are, it’s going to be okay. It doesn’t matter if they think us weak. What matters is what we think of ourselves.

It is then we see that peace and happiness comes from within and not from things we own. Also that it’s okay not to be okay. And to love fiercely and sincerely because we’re already in love with our entirety.

Truth will not come in the guise of opinions shared by others, as the truth is neither a collection of slogans nor an ideology. It will instead be personal. Your truth is something
only you can tell, based as it is on the unique circumstances of your life. Apprehend your personal truth. Communicate it carefully, in an articulate manner, to yourself and others. This will ensure your security and your life more abundantly now, while you inhabit the structure of your current beliefs. This will ensure the benevolence of the future, diverging as it might from the certainties of the past.
