Here’s what some people don’t understand…
You can avoid being accountable for a little while.
You can manipulate those around you into believing your story, you can shift the blame, and you can throw someone under the bus so that you can avoid facing what you know you did.
You can leave out details, twist the narrative, and convince people that you are the victim.
And for a while, it might even work.
People might believe you, they may even defend you, and they may never question what really happened, or care to hear the other side of the story.
But the truth is still the truth even if everyone believes the lies.
The truth is patient.
Because sooner or later the reality of who someone is always leaks through the cracks of the image they try to maintain.
Eventually, patterns expose what words tried to hide, and time begins to reveal what manipulation once disguised.
Life has a way of making things right in ways that people don’t expect, and the same pain someone once handed out finds its way back to them in forms they never saw coming.
It’s not always obvious; it doesn’t always show up in a Hollywood movie kind of a way, but sometimes rather through quieter consequences.
Someone might be able to fool people for a season, but they can’t outrun who they are forever.
A lack of integrity is not something that clever stories can hide forever, and the truth, no matter how deeply it’s hidden, has a way of one day standing where the lies once stood; undeniable and finally seen.
The truth doesn’t just disappear because someone wants to deny it, it waits for them, and when they least expect it, the truth catches up with them and sets things right; because truth doesn’t deteriorate with time, rather it’s revealed with time.
There is nothing more formidable than the truth, and to think that you can outrun its consequences is delusion at its finest.
Actions have consequences, and ignorance towards those consequences does not free a person from the responsibility and the reality of those consequences, because they were the only one responsible for their actions.
