Living a Lie is No Way to Live
from A Sound Heart · host Josiah Rich
A lie is a brutal reality. It eats away at the spiritual life of the person. It is relentless in its demands. Those who "live" by lies are burned out by them because a lie is existential falsehood. It demands that one be false to oneself and others too. It can never be otherwise. The lie-shackled person is never free. The condition or practice of lying creates the liar. The liar is self- victimizing and other victimizing too. Liars deceive themselves into believing that no one will ever find out the magnitude of their lies, but there is a God in heaven whose eyelids try the hearts of people.
