The caption of the blog ” swing of….” is an inseparable part of our diurnal demeanor. Though, fact is, neither we acknowledge this nor pay an attention to this. In a normal sense, we admit the existence of “truth and lie”, but deny the impact of them upon us. This can simply be explained, by counting the account of behavioral pattern of your one day life. You just, jot it down in a note book sincerely. Now compare this ratio, of how many times in that specific day, you spoke something truth and at the same time you spoke “not a truth.” Implicitly, you console yourself that you are not telling a lie, in this way you just saving your skin. As a whole, you know you are not telling a truth.
One day account is enough
So, this ( one day account of your life) makes you realize, in the whole day behavioral pattern majorly you spoke “lie.” It can be explained further by a proverb,” to conceal a lie you again need to lie hundred times.” As such one “lie” of the day impacts “deeply,” upon your whole day entire course of life. Here the term “deeply” been used, and not the term “badly.” This simply connotes that we have accustomed ourselves, not to assess the “bad impact” of this on our life. A person speaks a lie and then in support of that delivers a chain of scattered statements.
Since, every action has got a reaction and this process produces an output. Besides, man has become accustomed accordingly to this process of outcome. If, his this action, brings a negative result, he with a laugh bravely accepts that presuming ; a bad deed recurs a bad result.” But, if this lie brought a “positive result”, the person is high on the sky. He feels happy, if by speaking a lie some pure profit is being procured, this impels someone to tread the same bad path. The example of this kind of lie can be comprehended by this citation.
If, a young woman with plain features and ordinary personality, is praised falsely by a cunning man. Who is depicting her, as one of the most beauteous woman, he ever chanced to meet in life. This made the woman so flattered, elated and delightful and she was on high wings. Although, inside her heart she knew, she was not beauteous as such. But this lie helps to provide her a pleasure of unique kind. Being engulfed by this storm of false praise, moments came she surrendered completely before this cunning paramour of her. Now, this outcome of telling lie delivered an enlightenment, to this cunning paramour. He is enlightened , by speaking a “lie” he ably could win the heart of any woman. But, if as a result this fornication woman got impregnated and man refuted to take the liability…..?
Dilemma
Here only, comes the dilemma of “swing of truth and lie.” Had the cunning paramour, would have revealed truth to the woman that she was with plain features and having no beauteous attraction. He could not succeed in making lustful relations with woman. Meanwhile, woman too from the core of the heart knew that she was not beautiful, but desired a false praise! Then, who out of them is accused? If we proclaim both person telling of lie, ( to accept a lie knowingly that it,s not a truth, is also telling a lie, since you are promoting it.) Then, the significant fact it indicated that that man by its matrix is a liar and his entire existence is propped upon that.
Why for, our edification or ethical norms put great stress upon to ,”always speak the truth.” Since our fore fathers, seers and saints, as such had deeply pointed out, the man’s tendency to speak the lie as a main vice in him. Now, I try to explain it in another way. It is often said, ” kids have got a serene, placid and truthful heart and they don’t speak a lie.” Yes, their innocence is admitted !!! but with certain reservations!
Child’s psychology
Here an important factor is to be noticed, ” they speak true only of those facts, which their mind is not able to extricate.” So, they plainly narrate about that.” For example, if there occurs some skirmish between parents, and any of them receives some injuries. They will disclose the truth of injury, how it was received. Since, their mind is not able to extricate the fact that even a strife can take place between parents. To kids, both the parents are like protectors, who feed them, provide a snug shelter. On the top of it, the love they pour towards each other, then how come such type of loving buddies can have a fight in between them.
Now look at the other side of the coin. If there occurs a “child fight” between two little children in which they pull hair of one another and bite through teeth. Suppose, no one is there to disentangle them or assuage their fight. Then with a crying demeanor, both the children when brought before the parents or elders would accuse one another, “he gave me a beating.” Never any one of them says, “I thrashed him.” Meant, both will play the victim card and playing with victim card is also the human matrix, for it helps protect him or save the skin.
When lie comes up as a winner
Here only, comes up “lie” as winner. Goebbels( German propaganda minister) communication minister of Adolf Hitler used to say. ” You repeat a lie hundred times, it begins to sound like a truth.” The woman with ordinary features in the above referred citation, too began to take herself as beauteous woman by multiple repetition of false statements.
Likely, “truth” is often a “bitter pill,” when it reveals your weaknesses, it becomes painful to accept that. People who brace up the truth and change their pattern of life, become successful. In total, it is often said, “this world is propped upon truth.” But, when we look around us and find the vast “empire of lie,” something begins to get shattered inside the heart. This is, how I tried to sum up the swing of truth and…..in short. A detailed version may need reams of paper sheets. Penned by– Vinay Pharasi…..
