Trust Me, This Isn't a Lie

I live in a place where there is an imbalance between the truth and the lie, the real and the unreal, the hidden and the unhide and the ostentatious and the existent. And you can never deny the fact, that the ones we shun of is the one that weighs.


We have driven ourselves in a moral world. We believe in heaven and hell but we keep on obstructing the book of ethical code we deem into. And we tend to forget and ignore the consequences we may stumble upon. It is so dismal for us that we keep on giving prejudice on that imbalance.


LIE. The most common barricade to the norm and the “law” and is spoken in every 1,000 words coming out on your mouth. But if you thought it has to be lesser, then yours is crucial, see you in hell.


Surely, anyone who has read this has their lies in their life, hidden truths and pretentious words hiding the existence of the factual. But what I want to clarify on this is that, most of those mendacity are thrown in exchange for a better situation. (And when I wrote these bold words, I know you know what I want to evoke.)


Oftentimes, saying the unreal can start the engine, keeping the journey going but in a different direction. And it will never switch the light on, because its purpose is to lead you to anywhere else but not to the place you have to be.


And by switching a lie for a scene we want to be like, we are taking risks. Why? Because there are still two trails in can lead into: to the one we like and the “other one”. The one we like is what we think can do well and will make it the perfect sight in the eye, not hurting anyone, giving them the pleasurable lie. And that other one is so mystifying and unpredictable you don’t really know what can really happen. Maybe it will direct you to the worse, or worse, to the worst.


And the worse would come if in an instant a person is being wounded, feeling deceived and eventually betrayed. And that’s the time you knew, your hiding place isn’t working and your work of art isn’t a masterpiece at all, but a steel, exposed in open air, corroded and junked. But when the word trust is given by the person being hurt, that’s when the time you call it the worst because when that is intact in the situation and in due course, broken and wrecked, it is now hard for the person to give what it could have been easier to bestow without trusting, and that’s forgiveness.


Because in the order of the emotional conditions written down in every mind of every person, you have to put back first the trust before you can fully do the right of forgiveness. Because making the act without putting it back, that is talking shit, doing shit.


So never, ever assume something; never put trust to everything, even though the battalion keeps on throwing whatnots but plastic bags. We must keep it light, to survive and to atleast, even in the darkness, and even the ship keeps on following the northern star, we can still navigate it easier, going to the south, where we really have to be at, where we are destined to be.
