Surely we have all lived through situations that we weren’t very sure how to get out of. The truth is that every path has its own level of difficulty, especially when it’s you that got yourself to that point.
Lying, at times, seems like the best answer, because it’s the easiest one in the short term. However, lying is like going into an alley which has many detours, but no exit. And most likely, we’ll end up getting lost in it.
While lying about a certain aspect of our lives might seem like the most appealing thing at some point, what would make us feel more relaxed in the long run is to always keep the truth first. Whether we’re ashamed of something or because we’re aware we messed up, the best thing to do is to be honest with others. Because otherwise, we will also be betraying ourselves.
We aren’t perfect and, therefore, we have the right to make mistakes. But, it has been proven that lies condemn, while the truth holds itself up. In this sense, you have to be consistent with your actions, accept what you’ve done wrong and, therefore, step into the shoes of the people we have wronged.
“The truth flows on top of lies like oil over water.”
-Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra-

Us is Jordan Peele’s latest cinematic perversion. I don’t mean “perversion” in the strict sense of the word, though. I’m thinking of it in critical terms, where you break from pre-established norms. In this film, comedy and horror go hand-in-hand. It’s a…
The idea that someone out there is the “love of your life” is quite popular. In some way, it’s similar to the idea of “having a better half”. It implicitly introduces the idea that there’s a great love predestined for…
