Proverbs 11: 3Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
I like to think of myself as an honest person... someone very close to me calls me an exaggerator... LOL.. not that I don't tell the truth.. just that I tell the truth in an exceptionally dramatic way....
I think even the most honest people tend to lean stories in a particular direction.. it is very rare when we tell something that is important to us without any emotion or leading... would that make us dishonest? I don't think so... I think perception is reality for each person.. so that would mean that what we are saying.. even with drama included is our truth or reality.. now it may not remain that way for the long term...
I used to think I loved someone... several times this has happened to me.. and truth was that I wanted my way... because as I couldn't get things the way I wanted them.. I walked away... I believe if you really love someone you continue to love them whether you are together or not.. so my thinking I loved someone may have been my reality for the moment.. but in the end the real truth showed I really did not...
when I think of treacherous people my idea is probably different than many people.. I have known many crimminals that I would not call treacherous.. yet they may have been known to kill someone... for me.. someone who is treacherous is really someone who is not what they appear... a shapeshifter of sorts... these people appear one way while deep inside they are something completely different.. sometimes you can't see that until it is too late... and I will believe that their dishonesty will destroy them in the end... everything done in the dark somes to the light...
I am thankful to walk in the light of honesty.. even if it is somewhat a dramatic honesty.. LOL!
