Believing Lies

/by

It is extremely important to always realize that in terms of living and surviving in this universe it is wrong to believe lies. Believing lies can result in failure or even death.

Keep in mind that most all children are taught that it is OK to believe lies. That is the result of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Bugs Bunny, and there are many more lies that children are taught and told to believe and expected to believe. By the time a child is 10 years old he has been expected to believe scores of different lies. The fact is children are not that dumb. They often know a lie when they hear it, but they are expected to believe it, so life is easier and parents are simpler to get along with when the child goes ahead and believes the lies. Thus a person grows up believing many different lies, and thus it seems reasonable when that child reaches adulthood, to just go ahead and believe the lies rather than spend hours or days checking things out.

Just keep in mind that to believe lies without checking things out, can result in terrible suffering and death for millions of people each year who die from cancer and other so called incurable diseases. It’s not necessary.

The Tough Life

From the Jim Humble Archives:

I know life is often tough. But you have to either handle it, or it handles you. Never hesitate. Do what you know is the very best thing to do. Let me assure you, as advice from an old man with experience, the more you do what you know is the right thing to do, the easier life becomes. The more you let life force you into doing what you would rather not do, the harder it becomes.

What is right you always know in your heart, but you can hesitate in acting on it, and then you can become confused until you truly don’t know what is right. He who hesitates is lost, and those who hesitate end up taking what they think is the easiest road, and that is seldom the best way.
