Truth is like a black & white feature film inside a dilapidated theatre. But a lie is like a technicolour movie inside a multiplex. We, forever,walk alongside truth but the direction gets us to falsehood and lies. Actually, humans wouldn't have survived by truth. We would have died long ago; our ancestors believing that we are slower than most predators, lacking in sharp jaws or muscled claws would have died. We lived on because we somehow believed the lie, we told ourself; that we are all powerful. We developed our own tools, romanced our own dreams and magnified our own glory. That is the story of mankind. Hope is a lie, God is a lie, religion is a lie, love is a lie and so are many more things in life. The distance of the moon from the earth was a truth and hence it's reach became an unsurmountable fact. But by reaching those dissy heights made it a lie. If we really had faith in truth, our world would have come crashing down. We take challenges because somehow the dream in us surpasses the truth of rationality. We cross barriers thinking that our protection is guaranteed by certain powerful forces. A lie gives out the creative side of human intelligence. Truth is but very boring, stoic; born out of fatigue. Ideas emerge out of lies. Every mathmatical model that brings 2+2=4, is the truth. But making that conversion into 5 or 6 is the true esscence of human civilisation. Thats how things work. Every generation has to live with it's own truth. That hinders it's growth. Our progress is ceased by constant scrutiny that we surrender ourselves to. If we really find the truth in us,we can do nothing. The most extraordinary things have been borne out of the most ordinary human brings. If we can tell ourself the right kind of lie then anything becomes a possibility. Every distance is attainable, every dream reachable and every means managable. Let the true lies out of the closet........
