The deception is hard to see through sometimes. After all, it does sound so good. But be sure there are those who will say whatever you want to hear.
It is not enough to like it, you must believe it. For then, you will fight to the death in the defense of a lie. Many shall fall believing themselves martyrs.
The truth is often unpopular, and it seldom makes you feel good. It can hurt worse than anything else. Eschewing the back, it goes right for the throat.
Still, lies are not a refuge. They cannot keep one warm and fed. Instead, trusting in perceived safety, you continue on the path that leads to destruction.
See what is there, not what is hoped for. Be wary of those who make grandiose claims. The only thing they will deliver is your head on a platter.
Some men have proven themselves to be their own men and need the freedom to take on their destinies with help and not hindrance from others. For those who simply cannot breach into the world of maturity, there is nothing wrong with coddling them. It keeps the peace.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with coddling is it encourages bad behavior. You wind up with a world of brats. And we all know what a miserable world that is.
DeleteMany try to sell us lies and offer their way as the truth, but in the end will lead us off a cliff. There is only one Way , one Truth and it up to us to believe only in which rings true in our heart.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of people out there still selling bridges. Sadly, there are those who continue to buy them. Be wary when someone tells you want you want to hear.
