Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”― Mark Twain

The world adapts to what is easy to have, hold, use and manipulate and telling a lie is one of such that stands out in a class of its own.
A lie can destroy the biggest structure built on truth and the truth wrapped in gold cannot stand the smallest lie.


Blessed!


Telling a lie is easy and you can build series of words on a "simple lie". The world never stays the same after every lie and the stories are new every time.

Do you ever wonder why fake news gets more traction than the conventional good and real news?
Do you ever wonder why gossip sites are much more popular than the good story sites?
Well, wonder no more, these sites are built on lies and are operated with such powerful engine that works faster than the speed of light.

Lie is interesting and the truth is uninteresting and usually boring because, when it is said it ends every strife and puts to rest anything else that should call for further conversation.

Life is uninteresting without a followup to further discussions and truth does not provide for more discuss. Lies however, takes the conversation further because one lie begets another and another and another and it never ends.

Take a look around the world as you know it and ask why it is so easy to have criminals and crooked individuals in the corridors of power while those who are deemed to be the good guys are termed "the average individuals".
Truth is constantly under attack and no matter how the truth is presented, it is never perceived as the best option.

The truth is complex, cheap and very hard to tell and it mostly brings no profit, but telling a lie is really very simple and available to everyone even fools.
Without having too much thoughts, man can spin a lie from the top of his head but can never do that in a week for the truth.

The power of a lie can bring a nation down within minutes and it will take a decade or even a lifetime to have truth put it back up together.
Are you a truth teller or a lie spinner?
