“Suffering with, lies become truth syndrome"

     Some people tell themselves lies so often and thus convince themselves the lies are truth. In some instances, I call this, “Suffering with, lies become truth syndrome.”

     Though they have been told, or even worse, know the lies are lies, or are not factual, they convince themselves otherwise.

     Sometimes in part due to a lack of knowledge of truth, i.e., ignorance, other instances due to a blatant wantonness for self-gain and or self-gratification.

     Let us describe the earlier as naive, and the later as self-absorbed with ulterior motives.

     Either case, there is truly nothing beneficial gained for them or the person or persons with whom they are dealing, as the interaction between them and whomever is based upon refutable errancies, and or full-blown lies.

     “What is the significance here Shaun?”, you may be asking this former and later question, “Why does this matter to you so much that you would write about it?”

     My answer to both questions is, “Truth.” How are we to interact and or live in falsehoods? How are we to grow spiritually, mentally, or emotionally, if our trust and faith are in lies? The answer to these two questions, “We cannot.”
