The Truth Sets Us Free
Lying Is Darkness, The Worst Form Of It
This Is The Counter Point by Rev. Ronald Rolheiser, OMI
See the point here:
Only Good Can Come From Putting On A Clown Face
A friend of mine, an alcoholic in recovery, is fond of saying: "Alcoholism is only 10 percent about a chemical, and 90 percent about dishonesty. You can drink, as long as you do so honestly."
He draws a wider moral axiom from this, adding: "In fact, you can do anything, as long as you don't have to lie about it! It's dishonesty, living a double life, that kills the soul and kills families."
He's right. It's no accident that, in Scripture, Satan is called "the prince of lies," not the prince of sex or the prince of greed. More than anything else, it's lying that corrupts the soul, destroys relationships, and sets itself against light. Lying is darkness, the worst form of it.
