A Lie is a heavenly gift

Imagine life without a lie
A life where truth rules
A life where everyone knows the reality
One where reality cant be cloaked
In the safety shield called a safe lie.

What would one say when faced with awkward questions
Imagine the grimace and the grin which says am telling the truth forgive me
Imagine the reaction when one says ' you look fat' .
Life would be fun one would think
Would it?
It would be painful.

How would one explain the lack of love
Towards ones wife , ones life
Hatred would rule the instant one reveals
The truth behind the repulsion of others
But truth it is , the unadulterated , unabridged truth.
The truth we darent say.

How would egoes be satisfied?
How would yearnings be gratified?
How would one learn to be happy?
Without the safety net called a lie.

Would you dare to reveal the truth
When you you dont touch your partner?
When you grin and say it was a wonderful party
When you put up a brave face and say life is wonderful
Would you dare reveal the truth behind reality.

Ridiculous it seems
Imagine a life with nothing but the truth
Whats the fun in that?
Lawyers and Politicians would be without a job
Only because a lie is the foundation of their career.

A lie is a universal leveller
An antidote for the bitter medicine called truth
An alternative but not entirely the right choice.
A choice thats a pain
It does work though , not always but mostly

A lie thats gifts you love
A lie that grants you piece of mind
One that bestows confidence
One that ensures success is better than truth
However against one may argue.

Love your life my friend
Utter the truth when it is required
Conserve your anger
And ration your lies
The most precious of vices is indeed
The most effective of all utterances.
