What lives in darkness?
Something thrives on ignorance.
Something that feeds on fear.
Something that is selfish.
Something that threatens mutual destruction.
Something that has secrets.
Something that is weak.
Something that has no real power.
Lies live in darkness and starve in the light.
– Lloyd A Dempsey II
Lies. That’s been the topic of several blogs I follow.
A lie is like a cancer to the soul. The longer it’s allowed to exist the more it consumes. Paul Gerhardt was the one who first said that “when a man lies he murders some part of the world.” ( thank you Google) I would add that the liar is his own primary victim. A person may believe that they’ve sent the lie out from themselves and used it on someone else but the truth is that the lie never truly leaves the heart of the liar and a darkness is born. From that moment on the lie takes over the liar. A person does tell a lie, he hosts it like one might host a parasite. The lie will speak to liar from within and the threat is that “I’ll take you down with me.” But, there is a way to freedom. Simply letting in the light. Confessing to the lie and speaking the truth robs the lie of power and shrinks the cancer of the soul.

I don’t think the current occupant of the White House is listening (perhaps because he doesn’t find that lies are “Something that has no real power).

Wow, this is my favourite post of yours. Completely agree, people who lie hurt themselves the most more than their victims. “the lie never truly leaves the heart of the liar and a darkness is born.” 👍

Thank you ❤ My day job requires me to deconstruct lies and it's amazing how much energy goes into maintaining a lie. Especially when the liar has no idea that I'm looking at conclusive evidence that proves they lied.

Omg, that’s hilarious. 😂 And the worst at the same time when you have the evidence and they keep lying. 🤦♀️
Do you get to bring up that you have evidence… and what do they do if you present the evidence?

For what I do it complicates things to do that so it’s better to play dumb unless the situation calls for being blunt.
