Enough with the lies

If you are lying to protect yourself from danger

For a condition that you are truly not at fault for

And you have no other method to control the situation

No other way out but to lie or deceive

Then so-be-it

If you are lying to help lift someone up

And out of their own way

Because nothing else seems to work

Then so-be-it

As long as neither of these two lies cause serious harm to another person

Then maybe in these very specific circumstances lies can be acceptable

But barring these specific situations

I don't see a rationale for lying
lol
Even white lies are a detriment to society

To ourselves

To reality

No good can come from lies

From lying

From deception

No good at all

And what "good" does come

Is so tainted that it is empty and fruitless

Devoid of real happiness

***************

People wonder so much about their misery

And yet to me it is so clear

It usually involves a few key components

Lies

Selfishness

Ingratitude

Pessimism/Cynicism

Laziness

Fear

One or all of these things

In all their many masqueraded forms

It's not hard really

It just takes taking a very hard look inside

Which most people are simply far too afraid

And not want to do

Buddhist Nature

There are always parts that I resonate with in every religion.

In the Buddhist I like that all is practice.

Even washing dishes

When done with love

With a happy heart

It is all dharma

It's all part of your teaching

The learning

The active part of being in God

It is all holy

I suppose even taking a shit would be

Why the heck not?

I've had some royally good ones. Lol
