One Lie Leads To the Next

One lie leads to the next
     and the next
        and the next

Oh yes! With the truth you can keep bright eyes open, no darting back and forth, no hem and haw. The truth is a straight arrow, no need for talk which causes heads to scratch, no need for sidewinders, no need to distract. Love the truth, genuineness, love. No need to use scripture on a track of lies - one should be terrified to do such a thing! God bless you, dear Gershon!

Gershon a favorite. Great wisdom shown here. It is true that by lying brings forth more lies to cover the original lie. I see you haven't run out of those smart pills. I need some... Fedex soon please.

Finally we will be made to believe that we are telling truth ! Repetition makes things grow into a habit....

Truth is such a rare commodity these days. They don't even list it on 'the precious metals' exchange anymore
