Liars have their own hell...? That's plus...maybe?

Uncertainty. This is one thing that has no borders, cultural or
otherwise, in terms of plaguing humanity. Every human being goes
through it & it is not easy on its victims.
Before people bring up 'faith', I'd like to point out that the tenets,
foundation & purpose of any faith has to be understood, accepted &
believed before it can be called faith. Otherwise, it's just another
fashionable trend...like bell-bottoms. Uncertainty precedes all faith,
all confidence & all decisions. Some of us hold onto it longer than
others. It isn't invulnerable. We were armed with something that began
with creation. The communication process. To be more specific, the
trade material of communication. That would be INFORMATION.
Information can be measured by quality/fidelity, quantity/amount. A
thing that gets to me, is how little caution is observed by those who
literally deceive people. There are lies in our schools, in our
libraries, in our societies, & even in our homes. Some of them are
designed to give peace of mind (eg, a contraceptive is not a
prophylactic, ie condoms were designed to prevent conception not
disease), some are birthed by folklore (eg, in socialising, sex isn't
the sole motivation of every male human being in the world to decide
to be nice to a girl, lady or woman...even if large mammary glands are
involved, remember those were the friendliest things in the world to
most people at some time in their lives). The examples are as many as
there've been people on this planet. But the lie that gets under my
skin & comes to mind at 3 am this morning, is the lie of power &
possession.
First of all, everything is on loan. Even the eyes your reading this
with aren't yours for keeps. If you doubt me, go to the nearest
graveyard & see if anyone bothered to 'take' anything from their
corporeal life.
I see pointless cruelties dancing before my eyes. Cruelties birthed of
lust (yes, my heart's got tread marks on it), the desire to covet
(yes, I've been robbed of things that I knew were useless to the
thieves like my time, my faith, my trust, my passion)...we're never
going to live up to half a million days (you can do the math. I'll
wait), so why?
I'm not advocating surrendering to vagaries, but a little more
thought, more empathy (sympathy is useless to those who need more than
your sombre nodding, sniffling or tears) you could leave something
bigger than what anyone else can steal, kill or destroy.
Any examples on offer? I'm glad I asked. Archimedes invented the
screw. Originally it was to draw water from wells, but he couldn't
have imagined where the 'march of the screw' has gotten so far (use
disinfectant for your minds, please. You know who you really are.)
Give more than what you usually offer. Give yourself to the world in
the little ways that you can. That is not a lie. What is a lie? That
you can do your best later. That you're not that important. That your
contributions won't matter much in the end.
Read more history. You'll be humbled.
