Why would someone tell a lie to their dear ones or to their beloved?
This is a question often asked by lovers. Love cannot stand untruth; it causes relationship to fall apart. The answer lies in understanding the paradox of love and truth. People tell lies just to save and maintain their love. Lies are the result of fear that the truth might damage the love between husband and wife. boy friend and Girlfriend, Parents and children.
In love you feel weak but truth brings strength. So why do people prefer love over truth, weakness over Strength?
No one wants to sacrifice love. Thus people are ready to give up the truth for their love. Love takes the luster out of truth. Sometimes truth can make over bitter; while in love, even lies can appear sweet, like KRISHNA lies to her mother, Yashoda.
The truth that does not nourish love make no sense and the love that cannot withstand the truth is not true love. When you are assured that your love is so strong that the truth can neither brake it nor cause bitterness, then the truth prevails and love shines.
With truth there are judgments, but true love is beyond judgment. Thus true love makes you weak and yet it is the greatest strength.
