Personal Theory on Lies

One lie is a lie. Two lies make up one truth. Three or more lies except the ultimate lie make up nothing but lies. So what is this all about, you may find yourself asking. We all lie; big lies, small lies, etc. each provides its unique consequential turnout. There is no way around it. Whether the feeling consists of regret, remorse, or evanescent happiness, a lie is a lie. Continuing with this idea, what do two lies make up? Mathematically, it is the reversal, the truth. Logically, this statement may sound absurd; two abstract forms cannot invert into its polar reality. After all, how can two lies make up a truth? This would not be a valid statement if lies were not identified as definite alluding facades. Lies exist as fictional matrixes, void of truth, submerged in fantasized disbeliefs. As born sinners, everyone establishes and accesses these surreal settings on a daily basis.

Parallel to binary reproduction, each lie branches out to form a new level. The only way to escape is to confront the parental generation of its plaguing flaw, thus the efforts of the first generation. The second lie, symbolic of the first generation, must intertwine with the first lie to fix the catastrophic reaction in the long run. In a way, its orthogonal component serves as a deviation from the lie’s linear structure by taking a derivative path towards truth. However, as more lies build up, the line will continue to perpetual and seeking the reversal will become exceedingly obscure and difficult.

Lying can become a habit for some people. For others, it’s a dump in a forest; you never return to it. There are multiple ways people utilize the intentional untruth; some to their advantage and others to conceal their sacred information.

Looking into the matter though, a new story unfolds. People have been robbed, robbed of their hearts, countless times year-round. So begins my very own story. It started with one harmless lie: I can’t like you, but the truth was concealed very neatly in the depths of the heart of the two, a feeling like no other. Unfortunately, this feeling lacked delitescency and strove to express itself. In succeeding to do so, follows the second lie: I can’t go out with you. This was also the truth that resulted from such a statement. As time passes, another lie adds to the collection. Inveracity fortifies the foundation of the relationship like a pyramid; beginning at the base and making its way to the flagrant pinnacle. When nearing the tip, the retreat from one side of lies shattered the infrastructure that sheltered its precious ruby hearts. Without the support of the first side, the second side followed its former’s path and crumbled its heavy bricks upon the unbreakable gemstone. Is this forever the fate of our beloved treasures? In an instinctive act of preservation, I begin to reconstruct the pyramid before any thieves try to steal the hearts of lovers. To do so, I curse myself by indulging in a flood of prevarications that form a web (similar to spiders) to savage its treasure. In a sense, I divert the tragedy towards a temporal illusion that everything is fine. Of course, in reality nothing is fine and everything is amiss. Instead, it seems as not only the pyramid but the planet itself has collapsed onto the both of us. So you see, even if one side stops the deception, the chain of lies will never break so long as all things good seek its perpetuation. Truth must coexist with lies in this double-edged blade analogy.
In retrospect, I think by far this has been the most anticipated entry I wanted to write for the past few months, but I did not have it in me to describe such mixtures of contrasting feelings on this topic.

So the first lie originated from Satan in the form of a serpent, tempting Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of the Good and Evil by telling her, "No, you shall not die the death" (Genesis 3:4). Eve was not persuaded, which led to Satan's second lie, "For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods" (Genesis 3:5). These words bring light to truth. Eve shall be as Gods, like Satan, the fallen angel, a minor god, once was; she will become corrupted like him. Her mischief decision becomes the origin of sin. Coincidentally, lying contains the word yin. In Chinese philosophy, one understands the concept of "unity in duality." Therefore, yin inevitable existence substantiates humanity. The reign of deception and corruption follows the living until their final day, when the last lie becomes truthful. By nature, people wish to find "peace within oneself" before their eternal sleep.
