LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES
By Monique
As much as lies can really get us out of trouble, the lies we
create at times put us even into more trouble than we usually
estimated. I hate lies and as much as I sometimes use lies to
stay out of trouble I don't justify the use of lies.
It all begins with one small one and they sure do accumulate and by the time we realize we are totally full of them and without knowing we become Professionally, Qualified , Experiennced liars since every time we tell a lie we justify it to make us feel better.
I remember in highschool I told a big lie once, I was suspended from school and I seriously cried I had never been suspended from school, reason not important ... so I wondered how I was going to approach my mum and tell her that I had been suspended, I sat down at the bus stop for a while thinking of what to say, and miraculously an idea clicked my mind. I reached home and I looked at my mum on her face and I told her that the whole class had been suspended because of plotting a strike which was obviously a lie. My mum being my mum she did not waste time, the following day so early in the morning she went to school, she asked me to accompany her but I refused with the excuse that we were not allowed to step anywhere near the school compound. To cut the long story short one way or another my mum found out that I was only among the ten girls who had been sent home, I have never been embarrassed in my life, I received the lecture of a life time and for this cause it took me a whole decade to gain my mums trust again, and at times even when am not lying she just has to be sure....
So people honesty is the best policy.
