WHEN TRUTH LIES

"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even
when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever
imagined. And even when that truth is more cruel than any lie."

We all say that we want to know the truth, the whole truth, in any situation in our lives. I think we're lying most of the time. Especially wen we're in the wrong, (and at some point we all are)and the last thing we need is a third person pointing out the facts(I say third because a second person seems to have more of a right, and in this situation everyone is a third person). The bare naked truth that we've tried so hard to hide.Of course, when someone else lies to us we demand an explanation and expect the truth, if we do not get this we lose trust in the other person.And trust, the way it entwines itself with lies is intriguing.

If a lie is never uncovered it can go on to remain the truth,so then what makes a lie different?

Sometimes I think we're happier in oblivion.Because truth, it pierces through you like a sharp steel knife, and once you do know the whole truth, no lie can cover it up.

But why do we lie in the first place? Only to cover up the truth? The fact is that we are scared to face the truth. And this is again because of the fear of losing someone's trust.

Like I said before, trust entwines in sporadic ways with lies.
I say sporadic because it is in congruence with the revelation of the lie.

For how long do we keep this going? One lie leads to another and yet another, till you don't remember the lies anymore and sadly you even forget what the truth really was,(even for yourself) because you are so busy convincing the world to believe the lies you've told that you forget for yourself what it was.
And we caution ourselves persistently not to trust others?
