The Beautiful Truth About Truth
We've all heard the saying the truth hurts.
Sure sometimes it does, But only for a little bit.
While lies continue to hurt.
The truth is spoken to help us.
Lies are spoken to deceive us.
Most of the time the truth is a beautiful thing But lies are always ugly. Occasionally we encounter the ugly truth
About someone or something. But we never encounter a beautiful lie.
The truth will set you free.
A lie will keep you captive.
The truth need only be told once.
A lie needs to be told again and again.
And so the beautiful truth about truth
Is this; it only needs to be spoken once.
Be truthful with your self
and you will be truthful with others
