Honest Flow

Do you think that no one will detect the narrow look in your eyes?  Are you so clever that the slight change in your mannerism will go unnoticed? Do you really believe that the smirk of deception on your face will be passed off as a joke? As you fidget your fingers in your lap, do you think you have convinced me that you are relaxed and worry free?
It is so easy to tell the truth.  You say it like it is and everyone else has to deal with it. The truth will always rise to the surface.  It may be frozen under the ice for a time but when the water thaws the rush of consequence is oftentimes more damaging than the initial admittance would have been, anyway. 
Unfortunately, because of a person's inability to face the truth themselves, lies are created and elaborated upon, until even the one telling the lie ends of forgetting the truth. 
Lies tangle up the smooth flow of life.  The knarled twists and turns of deception always strangle the deliverer at some point. It may take years but the turbulant stress of trickery will show on their face like a flood ripping apart the land as it moves across it.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"The protective encasement of lies surrounding you will only last until the season changes." tc

  1. I thought telling situational lies would soften some troubles. Not always! Now people know where and how they stand with me all the time. I don't have to be rude to be honest. But all parties involved sleep better at night knowing there isn't "something" unsaid or misunderstood. Thanks for this reminder.
