The Core

The Truth is at the core of everything in this universe. It is at the core of every rock, tree, bird, and every human being. Yet, it is not easy to live day to day in the Truth. In our daily life, we encounter situations where we wonder if we should be totally truthful. We calculate the consequences of being a little less truthful in order to avoid hurting someone. We dilute our emotions, we change words so that we don't hurt anyone. When we do this, we are compromising the Truth.

It is hard for us to live continuously in the Truth, speaking the truth, and being connected to the inner core, the core that is nothing but the Truth. It is also hard for others to be truthful with us. Also, it is difficult for us to bear when somebody is truthful in speaking about us. Truth hurts. Mixing a few lies to soften the truth does not make it truth. Truth has no component of lies in it. It cannot have. The moment it is diluted, you can't call it truth anymore.

We lie so easily because we are used to thinking of ways to cover our tracks. We use lies to conveniently forget the stark Truth. Sometimes we use lies as a crutch to prop up the Truth! How can it work? It will fail. Every time we use a lie, it will multiply our problems because a lie can never sustain the truth. Simply, even the smallest lie will have its consequences. When I say 'lies', I mean any words that we use to deter from delivering the truth in terms of expressing emotions, facts, narrations, anything.
