"is honesty always the best policy?"
                                                          -SATC

traditionally it has been seen as righteous and honorable.
even still many hold onto this belief.
years pass. the ears listen.
and then you do ask yourself...
"is honesty the best policy?"
my eyes open and it seems that the world is intertwine between dishonesty, truth, lies and even more lies.
in fact. the world has turned upside down.
the truth is now deemed as selfish.
a lie is to protect the ones we love.

what is right and what is wrong?

is it the teachings that have been passed down us from our ancestors?

“I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant."
                                                                                                                - Henry Louis Mencken

is it the majority of the people around you? your friends, your family, the society?

or is it simply for yourself to judge?

how easily one can be influenced without our knowledge.
how it guides our decisions and sets our path.
sometimes we may walk it in the dark.
hoping for our happy ending.

cringe at the sight of blatant ill will.
sigh at the knowledge of mistakes.
laugh in the face of stupidity.
and smile for the beginning

once again reality broke into a fantasy world.
but rather than destroying a dream...
reality has reinforced it.

what was once fiction is now staring at me.
now that ive come face to face...
do i walk away or walk with it?
