I watched a show on TV recently called; "The TRUTH about LIARS", which i found fascinating considering the so-called experts on the subject were themselves either liars at worst, or very misinformed and uneducated at best.
They kept implying that lying is just human nature, and thereby condoning it as acceptable behaviour, instead of recognizing it as something that is taught from birth by society and can therefore be unlearned. Afterall, if you want the TRUTH just ask a young child that hasn't yet been TAUGHT to lie.
It was also implied by these "EXPERTS" that deceivers(LIARS) are more successful than suckers(people that tell the TRUTH), thereby condoning this behaviour as not only acceptable, but necessary. I guess they don't understand the proverb that cheaters never prosper. I thought it was funny that it was mentioned numerous times how our police and politicians are always lying, yet it never occurred to any of these experts to mention that without TRUTH, there is no JUSTICE...And without JUSTICE, truly, there is no FREEDOM. That society itself, being founded upon lies, needs and uses lies to enslave and manipulate lest it collapse down upon itself.
I guess they didn't understand the moral of the story for; "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." or maybe being without morals themselves, they just didn't get it. It was not hard to see they never embraced the teachings of Christ when He said; "Swear no oaths, simply make your yes mean Yes, and your no mean No."
It was also plain to see they didn't understand that the journey through SILENCE is designed to help break the habit of lying, first and foremost to free you for your journey back to TRUTH...and the TRUTH shall set you FREE.
