A hard lesson learned
One of our virtues is that
“truth is our worship”
I broke that virtues a few days ago and paid the price:
Life is a unique experience for every single one of us. Everyone has their own memories, their own perspective, and their own take on the world. While much of life can only be experienced, below are a few lessons that seem to stand true in a majority of people's lives. I write these lessons because I have personally experience what a so called “white lie” can do to yourself and the person that has received it.
In Yourself :

In Yourself :
You shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
It takes a long time to become the person you want to be.
Either you control your attitude or it controls you.
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Your background and circumstances may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for who you become.
Credentials on the wall do not make a decent human being.
In Relationships:
You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
No matter how much you care, some people just don't care back.
It takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. Yes seconds and just one word, will destroy a trust.
It's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.
Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
You should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
The people you care most about in life are always taken from you too soon.
Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
*Never lie, its not worth it, not even the smallest lie.
