White Lies to Hypocrisy.

During the bike ride home, my mind wandered off to the previous conversations I had with everyone in my life for the past few days. Of all the conversations I had, there was one which struck me the most. It was about "White lies", and it got me seriously thinking. So much so that I regurgitated everything that raced through my mind at the very instant, and put it into this blog.

--------
A famous white lie would be the answer to the question, "Honey, do I look fat?"

Most men would say, "No dear." Or perhaps something along the lines that would make her feel good about herself. Obviously, you're a liar if you said no when your partner is as large as an elephant. But generally, we do get the point that we do not want to hurt the other party, we need to stabilise a sticky situation, and besides, she knows it. In this case, a white lie is necessary to keep everything in check. Women know we're lying, but they just want to hear the good things from their man cause the opinion of their man is all that matters.

White lies are something big to pull off in my opinion as it goes along the lines of hypocrisy and backstabbing. A simple example would be to ask your girlfriend, "Baby, is my hair okay?" after a bike ride. She replied, "Your hair is a-okay!" You stride into town, with 100% confidence after the assurance your babe gave you. Then when her friends stumbled upon the two of you, they whispered to your chick, "What's with his hair?" And she said, "Its messy isn't it? Man, he's getting on my nerves with that smack face!" (This is based on a true story. My friend broke down when he told me this.)
Now, what is to be a white lie at first, transforms into hypocrisy/backstabbing/(insert mean word here). Worst part of it all, turning against the person claimed to be your "special one" or boyfriend. Where is the trust? Ultimately, your partner should be the most trusted person in your life! You support him, not insult him!

Golden Rule, never say bad things about your partner/ex-partner/ex-ex-partner/ex-ex-ex partner to anyone, even when he/she really sucked. You stand by your partner, and defend them like you would defend your own reputation. You love him/her, you choose to be with him/her, and it is your job to defend him/her. If you fail to do so, you're a hypocrite. A big bloody hypocrite. You said you love him, he feeds you on dates, he sends you around on his vehicle, he pays for your drinks, but you go against him when you're with your friends. Idiot. Period.

So yeap, this is just my 2-cents worth on the issue, "White Lies." My advice is, if you do it, you better pray hard the truth stay hidden.

Remember:

Your 5 times a day goes to waste when you're a hypocrite.
Your Ramadhan fasts goes to waste when you're a hypocrite.
Your terawihs goes to waste when you're a hypocrite.

I pray that Allah bless all my lovely readers like he did to me. Amin.
