Years of Deceit
By Tammy Derouin
From the time we are small children we
are told and instructed on the importance of telling the truth. Early
childhood lessons instill the importance of honesty. If you are
wronged by a fellow playmate or classmate, you feel that everything
will be cleared up once the truth is known. When lies are told to
cover up wrongdoings and prevent punishment, the situation only gets
worse. It's bad enough when you are wronged but what if, during the
inevitable questioning, the one who wronged you, flat out lies? The
perpetrator of this wrongdoing, in an attempt to save his own skin,
decides to rewrite the story, blames you, destroyed evidence and may
have even added a few colorful, albeit fictitious details and then to
make it even more interesting, tries to get others to turn against
you.
That jaw that just hit the floor, while
in the principal's office, will eventually toughen up. Sadly, this
will not be the last time that you will witness the truth being
twisted, turned and then repackaged to benefit someone else. Having
been wronged, how do you react? Do you retaliate and try to get even
or do you learn from this experience and return to fight another day?
