"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything"

Never argue with someone who believes their own lies.

If lying was a job, some people would be richer than Elon Musk. 💰💰

You know that person who just can't seem to tell the truth, no matter what? This is the joke for them. 😅

This post is a hilarious and relatable take on a common habit. It’s perfect for sharing with friends and a good reminder of how some people operate! 👇

Hiding the Truth: Why It’s a Form of Cheating and Betrayal

When we think about cheating, most of us picture deceit, infidelity, or a deliberate act of dishonesty. But what about the things we *don't* say? Hiding the truth, even with the intention of "protecting" someone, is also a form of cheating. It may not feel as blatant as outright lying, but it can be just as damaging—if not more. Whether in romantic relationships, friendships, or even work environments, hiding the truth undermines trust, breeds doubt, and invites karmic consequences.

Why Hiding is Cheating

At its core, hiding the truth creates a barrier between two people. Trust thrives on openness, and when someone withholds important information, they manipulate the narrative, controlling how the other person perceives reality. This distortion of the truth is a form of emotional manipulation, and it's unfair to the person being kept in the dark.

When you hide the truth, you're not allowing the other person the opportunity to make informed decisions based on the whole picture. You're essentially stripping away their right to know what’s really happening, and in that sense, it's a betrayal of their trust. And just like outright lying, this kind of secrecy can slowly erode the foundation of any relationship.

Karma Always Knows

One of the most significant spiritual aspects of hiding the truth is the karmic weight it carries. Every action we take is tied to an intention, and hiding the truth is often rooted in fear, insecurity, or selfishness—all of which are low-vibration intentions. These energies don’t disappear into thin air; they create ripples in our lives and relationships. Karma, the universal law of cause and effect, sees everything. When you withhold the truth, you're sending out dishonest energy, and that energy will eventually return to you in one form or another.

Destroying Trust in Relationships

Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and once it’s broken, it’s incredibly difficult to rebuild. Hiding the truth chips away at that trust, leaving your partner or loved one to question what else you might be keeping from them. It creates a cycle of doubt and insecurity, where even the smallest omissions can turn into major sources of conflict.

People are intuitive. They may not always know exactly what’s being hidden, but they often sense when something is off. When the truth eventually comes to light—as it almost always does—partners or friends will naturally ask more questions. They’ll dig deeper, and this can lead to even more dishonesty. Cheaters and those who hide the truth tend to lie directly to our faces, even when the evidence is overwhelming. This not only insults the intelligence of the other person but also deepens the wound.

The Consequences of Hidden Truths

When we think we’re sparing someone’s feelings by hiding the truth, we’re often just delaying the inevitable fallout. The truth always has a way of coming out, and when it does, the damage is usually far greater than if we had been honest from the start. Relationships built on half-truths or omissions are fragile and often crumble when the weight of unspoken realities becomes too much to bear.

Moreover, the person who’s been kept in the dark may feel even more hurt when they realize they’ve been deceived not just by lies but by intentional omissions. They may start questioning everything—was anything ever real? This kind of doubt can be incredibly destructive, leaving lasting scars on the relationship.

Be Honest, Even When It’s Hard

The lesson here is simple: honesty is always the best policy. Even when the truth is difficult to share, even when it might hurt, it’s better to be upfront. Being honest fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and allows for real communication and healing. Hiding the truth might feel like the easier path in the moment, but it’s often the beginning of a much more painful journey.
