Today I shall cut it short as I'm recovering physically from flu (and also emotionally (: )
Along the journey of life, I stumbled the saying somewhere: 'Better than an ugly truth, are three beautiful lies'. Being a devout Buddhist, the fourth precept I took ensures that I abstain from telling a lie. However, let me confess, that today, I told three beautiful lies. I did this not only to cover an ugly truth, but to also protect my friends' feelings, at the expense of mine. Well, shall I proceed to defend myself? Everyone can tell the truth. Everyone can pour out their emotions. I chose to be a coward, and withheld my feelings, and with that, the truth.
The problem with lying, is of course that in the future, you won't be able to fully trust that person again. You ask yourself: 'is that person telling the truth?' Well, I'd like my friends to question me like that in the future, for I am sometimes unsure if I am telling the truth. However, for now, let me say I am sorry, dear friend. Am I writing lies on my own blog? You decide :)
Let these tears make me grow stronger.
Forever yours truly,
