Truth in Lies

What holds more truth? A truth or a lie? For truth can be used To defeat a man's mind. Truth, it is fact, It is certain and strict. It is open to all To use as they wish. An imposing truth, As irrelavant as air, Can defeat a man's purpose With belief without care. Lies can enlighten If you know where to look. They can bare a man's heart Like a well written book. Though lies lead astray, And oppose your belief, There is more to be seen In what they want you to think. The source of man's need, The reasons he cries, His expressions of love, He must weave them in lies.

Glad you enjoyed it. Not really sure if ive convinced myself either. This is the result of a day of pondering why people lie and what good could come of it (and to sir_heff, i accidentally deleted your post! SORRY! plz repost it ASAP)

It's the truth. That's what holds more truth.

I see. Yet, can we not learn more knowing that someone has lied, than when they do not know how to express themselves with truths? Just a thought.

Do not attempt to have thoughts again. Or you may end up with a fridge landing on your face... my God, you'd be killed!!!
