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?

What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them."
— Ramana Maharshi.
