The worrier is very tired an wiery,

My father caught me in a lie, he was so strict, I wasn't really bad.
He made me sit at the table across from him and tell him that lie over and over, I thought he would never stop asking me to say it again.
He finally stopped and told that was the punishment for lies, once you lie you have to repeat it, and the final punishment is that you begin to believe your own lies.

I thought I understood and I thought that his message was so important and must have been so worthy to take time from his busy schedule.

He should have told me a different story or prepared me for the fact that most of my life, I would be fighting other people's lies. He should have warned me that if I chose to stand for the truth that instead of people liking me they would try to defy me or even acuse me of being ill.

If he had just said, Open Eyes, no one wants to hear the truth, no one likes the truth and if you stand for truth, many times you will stand alone. And that just because you tell the truth, it doesn't mean others will believe you. And that if you choose to be a truthful person you will have to be very strong and even though you tell the truth and are honest, it doesn't mean you will have power or respect or even true friends.
