The lies are lies

It's true, how many times we listen ... I don't tell lies, just one or another white lies . But what is a lie? It basically consists of hiding a fact, saying something by modifying it to give it another meaning, deceiving, manipulating and creating false realities.

In the foundations of the ontological coaching it is affirmed that the words themselves create realities, these can be true or sustained in real or false facts to create situations that can be credible but not certain of the all.

When talking about creating realities we can compare it with what in the East is known as the world and illusion . When we see a magician or an illusionist we can believe that what he is doing is totally real, and it is not, what is happening is that he takes advantage of our distraction and lack of sustained attention to deceive Leave us and make us believe that something is happening in a way and it is not so.

false reality and illusion

In a way, lies are like a false reality or illusion. We build worlds that can be sustained in the short term and that crumble and break down in the long term, that's for sure.

For example, when we know that someone is cheating on someone else, we sometimes prefer not to say anything or lie saying that you have not seen those people for a long time, and the justification may be that if you told the truth the children, parents and family they could be emotionally damaged and you are not able to do that damage to anyone. This apart from being a wrong point of view is also the most vulnerable position to adopt. It is a fact that lies and deceptions sooner or later come to light, when more people realize that there is no congruence in what is happening and tell the truth.

Of course we must know how to tell the truth, choose the right time and the right way, but it is important to say it. The first and great reason is that when we hide a destructive act towards someone we become karmically complicit in what the other is doing, so we will somehow share the negative part that corresponds to us in that situation.

lack of honesty

The white lies hide in the background our lack of honesty and courage to face what happens or happens, if we consider that karma is expansive it is always better to dismantle the cycle by telling the truth.

In some cases they can conceive us as gossips or metiches are popularly known, but if we are sure we are telling the truth, in the right way and at the right time there is no reason to be called that.

The challenge is always to make sure that what we observe is a lie and not react negatively to mere assumptions or suspicions . A suspicion is not enough to dismantle the lie, we must have supporting facts and the greatest amount of evidence to support our claim. Deep down it is not about harming someone but making them aware that something that I accept as valid is not true.

we generate negative merit

Avoiding telling lies is a precept in some spiritual traditions and a commandment in others. It is right not to lie more for the harmful effect of the lie than because someone orders us not to. The most powerful reason is that he who lies and those who become accomplices generate negative karma insofar as they contribute to accept it or to omit it.

prudence and diligence

So if we are not to tell total lies or white lies, what can I do? The first thing is to treat the matter with prudence and diligence, with calm and love for others, to say it assertively and with forceful evidence, if you do not believe us that is no longer something that we must suffer for, the important thing is Note it can happen if that lie is sustained and the truth is not told.

This is how white lies ... are lies and lack a constructive nature as long as their effect will be present as soon as conditions and circumstances allow.

The great recommendation is to act ethically as much as possible, be honest and true-loving, be willing to not allow harm to others by acting responsibly at all times, not hiding realities if not clarifying the situations assertively and clearly with the sole purpose of preventing the growth of damage that may result.

It is always difficult to end our non-edifying habits but reducing or eradicating lies will generate great peace and well-being in our daily lives. Something like when they say, I don't suffer from insomnia because my pillow is filled with honesty and generosity. It is worth trying to live at all times in a healthier way emotionally and mentally ... Do not you think? ..
