It isn't so much as how the lies people tell impact me, but -- rather -- how they impact those I love most. The thing is, even a small lie is big in the eyes of someone -- therefore, there are really no small lies. I would like to shelter my loved ones from these people, but sometimes it is impossible. You just have to deal with the fall out that comes with liars. Believe me, it isn't pleasant.
In my book, just telling the truth -- no matter how ugly the truth, is a better thing. Sometimes, the ugliness of the truth actually can be a protection. I know a situation where an underage child is dating an older man -- all sorts of lies are involved in this. Personally, I would hang the sob out to dry for having relations with a minor, but it isn't my fight. And in that one lie -- several others were exposed. It got me to thinking about the sort of negative energy and negative vibes that these people send off -- and how I want to be rid of that in my own home. How I want to shield my children. How I am GOING to shield my children.
There all all sorts of bad people. We just have to keep them as far away from us and out loved ones as we can. And band together with like-minded truth tellers and other good sorts.
