Word 19: Lies



Lies...

"here lies the lie that lies lying where truth once lied..."

My mother always said, "If you'd lie...you'd steal." As a kid I never quite knew what that meant. I always thought it was some off-color wives' tale she'd told us kids to discourage lying to her. After all, just because I'd lie...perhaps to get out of something I'd done...doesn't mean I'd steal. 

Then I grew up and I understood the foundation of a lie. The anatomy of a lie. I saw for the first time (whilst in a relationship built on the shaky legs of a liar) that a lie is INDEED theft. When you lie, mislead, deceive...you steal. You rob the person or persons of knowledge and therefore the rights to participate, accept, stay or leave. You sneak in and slip a burlap sack over that person's confidence in you and you hold it for ransom; as long as you get what you want out of the deal...the confidence is "safe"

...but a liar can never promise safety. Nothing can be trusted in a person who would concoct a lie for their own purposes, voiding any truth that would bring their character into question.

Beware of Liar...beware of thieves who steal the truth and bury it with bones that later get dug up and carried, full of decay and the stench of dead intentions.
