This could be like one of those jokes: "I don't generally lie but when I do...".
I pride myself on the fact that I do not lie. I have been this way since forever. I was that rare kid who's parents never had a tough time figuring out what she was up to as all they had to do was look me in the eye and ask. I don't believe in lying as for me it is equivalent to being fake.
The reason I write this today is to confess about the biggest lie I have ever made up. I don't know why I did what I did. It was just an impulse, a temptation to try what the experience of creating an alter ego would feel like. In essence, I created something which would deny the true meaning of my character.
Why do we act crazy at times? Why do we believe that no matter what we do in the end everything is just going to get back to normal? It was wrong on my part to lie and break someone's trust. It would be wrong for anyone to do that because that's the thing with our faith in people- once broken, it is almost impossible to find our way back in.
This isn't an apology. Its a warning for all those who attempt to lie in the future. While the experience maybe thrilling for a short while, the aftermath would be mind boggling because lies have a tendency to swim up to the top. It would eventually eat up your relationship and you would be left with a hollow carcass of a bloody mess which would undermine your sense of self worth.
Learn from my mistake. Don't lie. The person who has to live with it has a tough time believing reality after the delusion you created and no one deserves the mind numbing pain of constantly questioning reality- not just their own, but also that of everyone who extends a friendly gesture. Life would be a lot easier for all of us if we could just be honest and tell the truth always and every time.
I do not understand the philosophy that a lie that hides a bitter truth is better than a hundred hurtful truths. For me, honesty is always the best policy. Today, more than anything else, I wish I could turn back time and refrain myself from lying. You won't understand the pain of wishing for something you can never get unless you wish for a time machine!
In my attempt to make my life gain momentum, I became the entity I hate the most. This was my lesson to never repeat it again because the guilt of breaking a special someone's faith is unbearable. What is worse is the part of life I miss in that person's absence. When any relation, however recent, breaks it creates a void in both the people's lives. Some feelings are unmatched and some bonds are irreplaceable. I was selfish and stupid to lie in the first place and I don't wish to be this person anymore. With this I let go of the pain, anguish, guilt and fear I have been feeling for quite sometime and solemnly resolve to always stay true to my nature. Lesson learnt: NEVER LIE!
