All of us know that telling lies has its consequences just as much as telling the truth, and that we know too. So it's just the same. Might as well go with the truth and suffer, at least you're free from it. Because even just a small of a lie, we also very well know, could grow bigger; putting one lie over or next to another till it's bigger than we could handle, then even bigger than we are. Possibly entangling you to its web you created. And we also know, it didn't really do you any help.
Lies and secrets holds us back from truly seeing and appreciating everything, much more ourselves. They both make each other. You lie about your secrets to protect them, and your secrets are the truth from your lies. Usually they are the things that we would just like to put behind us, but i don't think thats how those things should be dealt with; because they are the very matter that will be f*cking you from behind and derail you from a way to a clearer and better view forward. they are the skeletons, the ghosts, the very reason the past could haunt; No one or nothing haunts from the future. The future doesn't haunt, it intimidates! It's all from the past; the former present wrong you've created, that will now contribute to your fear of an unseen future.
Haven't we all learned yet that nothing is really left in the past? You think you could do that but we also know there's alway a possibility it would find its way, if someone else haven't brought it back yet. We already say things like "nothing stays in the past" or "the past will catch up", yet we still pile them up. Forgetting, denying, hiding stuff never really works for anything for anyone. You have to accept it that it was a part of the reality called you, then make peace with yourself about it then let it go. Accepting it turns it to something that will not haunt you and it makes it easier to forget, because it doesn't matter that much anymore. Either way, it could haunt you but you getting hauntedby it is not the same, you could just not let it.
We all, as much as possible, want at least a better insight to our own future. Everyday already, big or small, we are faced with anxieties and fears of the unkown and even of just the unsure.. The future is big and intimidating, and even really scary thinking about it. And it will be better if we ourselves do not voluntarily add to these and not allow other things make it more intimidating, specially our past. Your past is everything you use to be or have, it is yours. Find a way to make it work for you. Do not allow your own perception of the future, people, self and life be tainted by anything by being free from but taught by the past. So you could have that luxury to be really there in that one present moment in your life free from the past and the future.
Though laying all your cards down the table does have it's disadvantages, but that doesn't have to matter. It could really cause some unfavorable results but sure will dishonesty or secrets too. So its not only you who has a disadvantage the other guy has his too. It could be bad to show all your cards especially if you don't know the other's hand. But the other who's hiding or bluffing will not easily believe you anyway because they expect you to be doing the same, bluffing. The other's bluffing or withholding makes them think that way. They have a tainted take on: others - that they will lie; and themselves - that they will not be told with the truth; thinking that's how life is, which only promises a future filled with doubt.
You may face the consequence of the truth, by admitting to a sin or exposing the content of your heart but what you will get is the truth that you also want, that you deserve; the truth we all want. Even if you're honesty turns out badly, at least you'd know who could trully accept you're real and flawed self. You did'nt lie to anyone more importantly not to yourself. You have nothing to hide. It will only be your own days filled of "what if" and "if only you told the truth" if you didn't. And it's just going to be your own past you created that will haunt you not anyone else's. Its your own guilt and regrets that you will just bear on your own. Its all true when they say the truth will set you free, but you didn't have to be entangled in any lies to begin with. Plus you will be showing people how much you deserve honesty yourself.
And everybody lies or at least, we expect everybody to be. Be different and be better than that. I know it's hard to not just lie cold turkey but we know it's much harder to set things straight. Just be truthful to those you care about and be truthful about those that really matter. And with hard or ugly honesty just think, you're enemies won't believe it and you're real friends don't need it anyway, so just say it. But you also have to consider, that not all that are impossible or doesn't make sense to you are lies, and not all that makes sense and simple are the truth. Yes, its also true that the fact are stranger than fiction.. lol! just lost my serious a bit hehe..
Okay so yeah.. it does take real courage to tell the truth, but they also say there's a fine line between courage and foolishness. So just cross that line but take it the other way around. Be a fool and say the truth. It only takes a split second to be foolish - foolishly brave, but fixing damages of a lie could take forever.
In short.. The Truth Is Always Worth It!!! XD
