Vicious Circle - Truth & Lie

Does any of you ever give it a thought that our life rotate around these two words - truth and lie? Are they permanent?? We can say only one of this, there is no space that we say truth and lie at the same time. Even if there is only one word of lie in the truth then the truth is a lie.

First of all let’s see what truth really is? What I have noticed and found is that truth is not constant. For me if something is truth, then it may be lie. The reason is simple, either you don’t know the view or thing that I know or I don’t know the things you know. So, truth is nothing, it’s just the perspective or the knowledge that any person have regarding the matter. Still, after this information, I would like to contradict it here. Truth is something that is same for everyone on the condition that you have all the information about the thing.

Lie…Its something which is not truth. No matter how good u manipulate the truth, someday you will not be able to manipulate it. This may be due to any reason either you will come to know the consequences of lying or you will be caught by someone who is a better liar or know the truth that you are manipulating. There are many reasons that can make you understand that lie is something which doesn't last long and is not good if seen from future perspective.

I am sure that many of know this. Then, why do we lie? There are many reasons for it. But they can be summed up into single reason “FOR OUR BENEFIT”. You may be thinking that he’s blabbering anything. But it’s not like that. Let me explain. If you are lying to make someone happy, then too you are doing that because if that person gets sad, then it effects you. If you are lying to make someone feel bad, then too because it makes you happy if that person feels bad. You say that you lying to teach a lesson to someone and working on to make some good change in the society, which in turn is affecting your future in some way making it safe and secure. So, you see from these few example that whatever view we see or due to whatever reason we lie, in some or the other way it only affects us, our future.

Let’s get to consequences. What are or can be the consequences of telling the truth or lying? However bitter the truth is, it’s always better. You know why? It is because person can feel bad and may be the person gets angry on you. But it will make them trust you. At least you are not going to be bombarded with the word liar. You will be at peace inside regarding that you had the guts to speak truth even on knowing the consequences and even with the fear of losing the person, you dared to speak truth. As it’s said

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Lie is good. Makes u happy for some time. Keeps u and sadness away. But what if the person comes to know that you are lying or the person come to know that what you said to them and what actually happen was not same, it was manipulated. It will affect you severely if that person have even 0.1% value in your life. And more over even if that person don’t come to know about the lie. If the person ask something else about the stuff you old in lie, then at first you will be confused if it’s not expected from the person, secondly to hide one lie so many more lies would be needed. On the top there will be an internal rush and fear in you thinking that what if the person comes to know you lied. More over with the lie chances of losing the person increases the by 200% than by telling the truth. And even if you don’t lose the person, you lose the trust of the person. This makes you feel departed from the person you care.  

It takes strength to stand up for TRUTH … which is why many continue to LIE.

In last I would wrap up our conversation with this belief that we know what is good for us and what we should do in future. Personally, I am going to diminish my lies as now I know that “An Inconvenient Truth” is better than “A reassuring lie”.  Saying I will end up means I am again lying because we all know that neither we can’t stop lying all at once nor can live without it in this lovely strange world.

A LIE has many variations, the TRUTH has none.

Basics - Equity Market vs Equity Funds

As an investor, we are always confused about where to invest? What returns would we get? How much do we need to invest? Are we investing at right place? Should we consult an Adviser? If yes, then will he be giving us the right solution/ product? How much will he charge? Thus, to overcome all this we all start searching on internet, ask friends and start investing on our own without proper understanding of the product. We often see the past returns or listen to friends & relatives and start investing in that product without having the deeper understanding of the product. Among the top investment options that everyone suggests us are Equity Market (Share Market) and Equity Funds as they give good returns and the returns are tax free too if realized after a year. On hearing that, the first question that comes in our mind is which one is better? Now, that varies from person to person. Investing in Equity funds is less risky, doesn’t need must experience, less effort and less

Love - An Integral Part of Life

What comes into your mind when you hear the word “LOVE”? Most of us will think about the partner at an instant. But is it this only between two partners, is it not between anyone else?? As per our grandparent’s generation, love is only between partners or we can say lovers. But as per our generation, we take love as a feeling between people. What this things called as “love” really is?? It is nothing but the feeling generated in our heart for someone, thus helping us to have a strong bond with the person. That person can be a friend, fellow human being, parents, siblings, lovers and many more. This feeling gets very strong with the help of trust, beliefs, and understanding as time passes. Some of you may be thinking, is it stronger then friendship too? The answer would be that both have their own places in a person’s life. Love is there in friendship, but love is not friendship. Same case is all the way round. They are not substitute of each other. They are among the few different

Financial Literacy - Legacy Planning

We neither feel not understand the importance of Financial Literacy. Not its been taught in school. But in life, in practical world this is very very important. Creating a budget is one part but managing it in a right way is different.  Doesn't matter who is taking care of our finances. We should always know about it. If not 100% atleast have a knowledge of it. Many of us think, why do we need to know, my parents/ my partner/ my friend/ some family member is taking care of that. And my friend this is where we go wrong. The other person has taken thr responsibility to do it right, but its we who are answerable as per law. Secondly, if something happens to the person or some misundersting builds up with the person taking care of all things, we will be like I don't know anything. And then it will be a big issue and we may be like again dependent on someone else to help it sort out. And if the person taking care have not completed/updated the basic things like nominee name, email,
