Of course everyone tells a little white lie at some time in their life. Sometimes it's to protect someone or to make sure that something that was alluded to too soon is not revealed. But these are not the types of lies that are stemming from a person who literally doesn't have enough of a conscience to stick to the truth of the matter at hand.

Think about why a person would outright lie. Well, if you're like me, that's not an easy thing to do. As lying to no end does not come easy to the average person so even imagining this type of action is beyond belief and rather hard to try to wrap one's mind around.

Why would a person go to such an extent to lie? Well, at first glance it would appear to protect themselves from some sort of perceived harm coming their way.

But when detailed this is seen as the weak explanation that it is. A person who outright lies is a person who lives in fear. Whatever that fear might be doesn't matter. All that is evidenced is that the fear manifests itself in lying to protect the person from the perceived harm.

And when this type of lying becomes chronic to the extent that the person actually believes the lies they espouse then the state of the mind in that person borders on pathological.

We've all heard of them. Pathological liars. Not a pretty description. But it describes spiritually ugly people who actually choose to make this condition an active part of their makeup when dealing with the everyday world. And that's just sick.

Think about how your life would be such that you felt compelled to protect yourself in the only way that you could conceive and that was to attempt to manipulate people and events by lying and changing the actual description of events that transpired beforehand. That must be a pretty bad world to be living in, but again, don't feel sorry for a person like this.

And don't become a person like these sick liars. The world has enough lying going on where the truth is muddied over so much that it becomes undecipherable at times.

But if you're the type of person who finds it inconceivable and deplorable to actually live a darkened life of one big lie then you are a person who will eventually win out against these types of pathological liars that might perchance cross your life's path as you move forward on it.

Don't let people who blatantly lie to hide the actual truth bother you.

Don't feel sorry for them.

Don't wonder how they can be the way they are.

Don't try to figure out why they did what they did.

None of that matters.

Even if the outcome is not what you desired due to their lies and blatant un-truths.

There's a saying in the Bible that states 'the truth shall set you free'. Now, I have never been a reader of the Bible; however, after recent life events and witnessing what could only be described as pathological lying from a very emotionally and spiritually damaged person it has become ever so clearer to me that as long as one continues to take 'the high road' in life and not let people who (choose to) dwell in darkness darken one's road then Life will turn out fine for that person who chooses the Higher Path.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Life comes at us not the way we want it to but just the way it does. And it comes at us the way it does for a reason. As I've learned over my recent years experience rides in on the back of every event. And the more I'm shown that my path of telling the simple truth is the way to go for me, I am also given the understanding that as long as one tells the truth during every experience one will never be caught in a lie.

Sounds simple, yet it is profound.

Take the high road when Life throws darkness at you. Why? Because the Light on this road will keep you on course. Unwaveringly. And assuredly.

After all, the Truth just IS. But lies have to be built, usually one sick lie upon the other.

Now, if we could only get those sick liars who choose lying over truth to even consider their actions in the world, the world would be a much better place for all of us. Especially those of us who abide by the Truth no matter what.
