The Slow Suicide of a Small Lie - 5 Truths About the Self-Destructive Power of Deception

  Introduction: The Universal Weight of a Lie The night has stood motionless before my window, like a mute deity waiting to hear the truth. Today I saw a face that was crumbling under the weight of its own fabrications, and my heart constricted in that silent spasm only compassion knows. I watched words slip from lips like evasive fish, saw eyes search for an anchor in empty space, and I had to ask: Why do you lie? Why do you choose to transform your one life into a labyrinth where you are both the prisoner and the jailer? It hurts me to see these lies, because the world becomes a colder place with each untruth. While deception is often framed as a shield—a mechanism for self-preservation—a deeper examination reveals it to be the opposite.

Have the courage to be yourself without justifying

Life is filled with situations where we are faced with the demands and expectations of others. Social acceptance and approval are incentives that often drive us to change ourselves to fit their ideals and norms. However, in this constant battle for recognition, we can easily lose ourselves. That's why it is important to have the courage to be yourself without justifying.

 
Having the courage to be oneself means accepting and valuing oneself as we are, without conforming to the expectations of others. It doesn't mean becoming irresponsible or ignoring the opinions of others. Nonetheless, it means staying true to ourselves and our values, even if it means rejecting certain standards or avoiding the need to justify our actions.
 
When we have the courage to be ourselves, we expose our true feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to the world. Instead of trying to fit in with others, we choose to be honest and open about who we are and what we want. This allows the people around us to see and understand us in a more genuine way, accepting us for who we are without requiring us to justify or change ourselves.
 
Justifying oneself is often associated with fear of rejection or judgment from others. When we try to justify ourselves, we essentially deny ourselves and our actions. Not only does it deprive us of our individuality and authenticity, but it also prevents us from forming genuine connections with others. By having the courage to be ourselves without justifying, we embrace our true selves and invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.
