WEB OF LIES

Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that kept growing.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth.
Or be stuck in your own web.

WEB OF LIES AND DECEIT

You’re caught in a web.
A web of lies and deceit.
Once you begin to lie,
the lies multiply until you’re in so deep
that you can’t extricate yourself.
Being honest is much easier and simpler.

ALL OF US STARTED OUT SMALL & INNOCENT

We were small at the beginning.
We were innocent and trusting.
Too bad we had to grow up.
Too bad we lost our trust in humanity.
It's never too late for us.

REFLECTION

What do you see in your reflection?

WHAT LIES BENEATH THE SURFACE

When you meet someone new or talk to someone you already know, do you really know what her or she is thinking? What he thinks about you? Is his smile sincere or fake? Is his laugh a little too high-pitched to be real? Is the person holding himself too stiff to be comfortable speaking with you?

We never know what another person is thinking or feeling. It would be nicer and easier if everyone acted the way they felt. Not to the point of rudeness but to the point of not being misleading. Then we would be able to find someone who is actually interested in what we have to say. That would be much better than wasting time with someone only to find out he was dishonest the whole time.

This is never going to happen but it doesn't hurt to dream.

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND?

We all leave some trace of ourselves behind. It could be something that we had created like a book or a piece of artwork. It could also be something simple like a laugh, a smile, or even a joke.
What will you leave behind?
Will it be straightforward like tracks in the sand that others can easily follow? Will it be a feeling that remind people of you?
Do we want others to remember us? Do we want loved ones to think of us fondly?
This will only happen if we work at it. We must be careful to be good people and not hurt anyone unjustly.  It is definitely worth the extra effort.
