TELLING LIES TO SAVE A SOUL

Lie of omission can bo done by anyone and sometimes you don't even plan it but because of circumstances.

Maybe we should be a little bit positive about the topic and see the good side of it. Lie is lie and there is no two ways about it. We can't also paint it to be okay when we lie about something. I use to be very skeptical about people that lie for whatsoever reason. I hated it before with passion and when I noticed that you told a lie I will be so mad at you. But I had an experience that made me lie purposely to save a life. After everything I noticed that it is not as bad as I thought because at the end I saved a life that was about to die because of an incident.

MY EXPERIENCE

In the family where I got married, I discovered that they don't love hearing about people's death. Sometimes when a beloved member of the family died or even a close relative, some members will not be told for a very long time. At first I wasn't happy about it especially they way people are only honored when they are dead. You will see people crying over a dead person even for a whole year. The people affected may not even go to the market or farm for a complete year just because they are mourning.

One day we lost someone very close to us and I had to device a means of telling a half truth to others to save those who it might affect negatively. I noticed that some of them can go as far as killing themselves if they lose a loved one.

I traveled far to go and bring the person back home so that she will see what has happened to her elder brother. I told her that he had a very serious accident and he is presently in comma. I told her that she needs to come back home so that she can take care of him. She didn't hesitate to follow me because that was her very close and lovely brother. She didn't understand what was happening until we got home. Immediately we got down from the car, people who were supposed to come out and welcome her started crying and that was when she noticed that something was wrong. She started asking what happened. No body answered her for some minutes, then one person broke the silence. As at that time I don't know if I should blame myself for not telling her the complete truth or be happy that I saved her from harming herself because of the death of her elder brother. But all the same I know that I meant well for her and the rest of the members of the family. People were there to control her when she started crying 😭 and that was a good thing because I would not have been able to control her alone.

LESSONS FROM IT.

I learnt my lessons. I stopped judging people when I see them do some certain things because I don't really know the motive behind what they are doing. It might be our of a clean heart or out of evil intension. Which ever way I need to check very well before speaking against what someone is doing.
