Truths and lies, two siblings that follow each other
around. There is a very thin line between them. You can easily move from the
truth corner into the lie zone.
We tell lies for different reason, to gain
recognition, respect, feel important, and hide secrets, selfishness.
So, what situation calls for the truth and what
calls for the lie?
Funmi and Peter had been going out for a year,
things were going smoothly, and they had a little quarrel and broke up. Funmi
knew something he didn’t and she was debating between telling him the truth or
telling him the lie, so she told him the truth and he broke up with her. A year before Funmi met him; she had followed
a friend to her church. A prophet in that church had told her she was going to
meet her husband very soon and gave her things to identify him with. Alas, it
turned out to be Peter, exactly as he was described.
