A person with a good memory is a liers worst nightmare

[@atuanyaalpheusparodychanne641]

I'm pretty sharp still remember the incident I drowned in Bakersfield at five years old.

[@Evangeline_elf]

OR a person with a good memory is the best liar. Which automatically makes the truth teller the one with the nightmare

When you lie, you become the one deceived. My Father would say when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

[@faithm9284]

'When you lie, you become the one deceived.' True and truly profound! Thank you! 💌

[@samyangkam8928]

“ When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.“ - that’s deep!

[@ashleybarry286]

WOW, that's really terrifying and deeply understandable. Is it something that will stop people who hear this from lying? Probably not maybe some but mostly not because the one's that lie aren't going to just stop... Right? I truly appreciate the truth and respect it even if it's something that hurts and if it's something you would rather not hear. I'm really honestly going to be wholeheartedly going to walk in truth for the sake of not going to fall into sharp objects and wholes... Further more; HELL! Thank you Jordan 💜

The truth also sets you free. Free of lies, free of sins, free of slavery.

Yup! The lie certainly hurts more.

[@nv_chino]

Truth hurts worse

[@chiepah2]

The farther you try to bend reality and the longer you hold it the more violent it will be when it snaps back. The good news, if you are careful and deliberate, you can ease yourself back in line with reality. It will come with costs, but those costs are going to be proportional to the costs you were trying to avoid by lying in the first place.

[@pingpongpaddlehead]

How can I start and the then stay on this path?

[@chiepah2]

@@pingpongpaddlehead The best thing to do to start is to focus on not lying. You don't have to tell the truth at first, but stopping the debt from increasing is big. It's tough because you have already built the habit, but once you can do that well you'll find you have more brain power to work with, since you aren't spending it on keeping your lies straight. After that you add telling the truth. It's rough, I'm not going to lie to you, it's nearly impossible, very few people manage it. I'd recommend more JP on the subject, he's the reason I have any insight at all on this. You can probably search something like "Jordan Peterson Tell the truth, or at very least don't lie" and get some really good stuff. I don't know how to keep doing it because I still have trouble, but it's worth it to try. I really feel better knowing that if I'm at least pretty close to being in line with reality.

[@pingpongpaddlehead]

I once heard somewhere something along the lines of "when you tell the truth to someone, only in that moment you may feel fear, but later on you will feel at peace while they live in fear. but when you tell a lie to someone, only in that moment you may feel at peace, but later on you will always live in fear while they live in peace."

My father always told me if you lie you need to remember every lie that you said and he said to me son I don’t think you’re smart enough for that so just don’t lie. Stand up like a young man and just tell the truth life will be a lot simpler for everyone.

[@nv_chino]

They won’t remember all their lies , later on it contradicts itself.

[@nicolasjosephs9910]

God this is so true !!!! We get upset when it seems like politicians get away with lying and committing crimes against humanity and perhaps they get away from our justice system however it warps their soul so profoundly we can’t imagine

[@maqabayker]

he is really really correct. It happened to me so terribly because I lied for my academic score. I failed one of my courses and lied to my family but I later passed that course with great scores. That lie has been my nightmare. After graduation, I will tell the truth to my parents. I still regret doing that and still can't believe myself why I did something like that.

[@nv_chino]

I used to lie to but not for other reasons people may think. Hopefully I can tell my parents who I really am. I only lie to get out of situations but some people will lie in the situation so damn bad.
