With the quarantine…I’ve been blessed to be able to write about a variety of topics. Enjoy! And as always, talk to me with your thoughts!

Dear Lies,

You make your way into every day life. In little ways, big ways, you’re as corrosive to the human soul as vinegar is to metal .

I’d imagine if you were a person you’d be the dapper dashing man in the room. Your allure drawing a crowd. I can see the lust for you in people’s eyes. Hell, I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t admit that you’ve enticed even me. But unlike some people who obsess over you and can’t get enough of you, after I engaged with you I felt disgusting.

Philosophers, Theorists, Priests, even Scientists have attempted to understand you. The dangerous thing about you is people don’t understand how you change them. Scientist have proven, the more someone intertwines with you the more it desensitizes the brain to the fear of getting caught or even worse, hurting others. Which makes lying for one’s own benefit down the road that much easier. Because of this you cause irreparable damage and hurt. You may very well be the greatest assassin of all time, you kill people without anyone even noticing.

It’s a lonely life, lying. And I hope you don’t expect sympathy from those who aren’t enticed by you. Sympathy shouldn’t be wasted on those who choose to waste even the most basic gifts of life, like self worth, love, and integrity. You take that from people. You take every ounce of self respect from people.

You revel in the fact that people are scared of your enemy, Honesty. She’s everything you’re not, and she gives everything to people you can’t. She’s intimidating as hell, but you see the difference with her is that people can become better after going to her.

So stay lonely & stay worse for the wear, Lies. Honesty has another thing coming for you.
