A hard lesson that many ignore

Truth can feel lonely, but it carries a weight that Lies can never match.

Story time:

Once upon a time, Lie told Truth, let’s take a bath. While they splashed around, Lie jumped out of the water, grabbed Truth’s clothes, and fled.

Truth climbed out of the well, naked and furious. While Truth was looking for the clothes, the world looked at the naked Truth and were filled with ridicule, anger and contempt.

Truth feeling cheated and horrible, went back to the well, disappeared forever, hiding in shame.

But, Lie on the other hand, was happily running around the world wearing Truth’s clothes. The world was happy looking and believing the Lie. Because somehow, the world did not want to look at the naked Truth.

This is true for life as well…
Like the saying goes, “There are three sides to a story – your side, my side and the Truth.

If you’re someone who speaks the Truth and for that reason, you don’t have many friends or people who like you, don’t worry. Many people find it hard to accept the Truth.

Just remember, even if the world seems to favor Lie’s pretty face, your Truth matters. It might not always earn you applause, but it’s worth much more than a pretty Lie.

While Lie may look good in Truth’s clothes, it’s Truth that holds the real value. Those who choose to be honest may feel lonely sometimes, but they are the ones who connect deeply with others.

So keep speaking your Truth, even when it’s tough.

Authenticity is important, and those who appreciate it will find you in time.

As the saying goes, “The Truth may be bitter, but it’s still the best way to live.”
