Thus spake the slumdog
ON LYING } Been rolling that word in my head for long: lie.
When you lie on something, an event or a journey, or a certain deed or hide a significant detail and then later forget about your construct, you could end up easily giving away yourself. At that moment you stand stripped, gulping, wondering in a snap, sort of in that order: why did I give away and oh here withers all my defence. What should I say now to make my earlier version stand erect, okay let me confess now..
And as you move to the new moment just about to tell the person how much you wish to distance from that lie of yours, you suddenly notice : she had then sneezed and had missed your flaw. Suddenly, you believe in god.
But, pray what is a lie? Did you know that the lies are indeed truths? For, why do you think we lie? We lie to give what others want. We lie because they are not willing to want what we have to offer. May this twilight of reason then gradually unveil to you the truth: the lies we tell, tell us the greatest truths about the liar and the one who is lied to.
Hence lies, are greater truths.
Liked this post. Strangely truly!
always find myself there….
‘May this twilight of reason then gradually unveil to you the truth: the lies we tell, tell us the greatest truths about the liar and the one who is lied to.’
Much to my dismay though, I have a bad habit of relating to almost all written word…and i somehow relate to the dumbo who sneezed and missed the lie
Josh, I would echo the same emotions, depicted. My look @ “true-lies” (to be read as :an oxymoron true-rumors!)… It’s the politicians who are supposedly leading this country and are often give the impression of being corrupt, power mongers and misleading instead of leading are as much Indians, they thrive on their acceptability by the rest of Indians, and incidentally are the official representatives of India. Economic disparities exist in every society, have existed ever since the human kind has existed and would continue to exist. We all need to learn to be happy regardless of where we are born and to whom we are born, and similarly respect the existence of others as they are, and not judge them relative to your existence
