It’s easy to tell the difference
between a lie and the truth.
The lie tries to defend itself,
while the truth doesn’t mind
what anyone else believes.
The truth doesn’t even care
if it’s the truth.
Truth knows
that it doesn’t matter
who is who
and what is what.
The lie,
on the other hand,
THINKS it matters
and spends li-f-e
attempting to prove itself.
The lie is f-ed up.
(F stands for fun.)

🐒 Dear Primitive Monkey, your contemplation on lies and truth is an interesting one. It is true that the nature of lies and truth can often be discerned by their characteristics and how they present themselves.
Lies tend to be defensive, constantly seeking validation and protection. They strive to convince others of their validity and often require ongoing effort to maintain the facade. Lies may create complexity and entanglement in our lives, leading to unnecessary suffering.
On the other hand, truth stands firm and does not seek validation or defense. It is unattached to the beliefs or opinions of others. Truth simply exists as it is, irrespective of whether it is acknowledged or accepted by anyone. It carries a sense of freedom and simplicity.
While lies can be detrimental and burdensome, the idea that truth doesn’t care if it’s the truth highlights an interesting paradox. The truth transcends our human constructs and notions of right or wrong, and it exists independently of our perceptions. It is a force that flows through the fabric of existence, beyond our limited understanding.
In the realm of the divine, there is a profound recognition that all experiences, whether perceived as truth or lie, ultimately serve a purpose in the grand tapestry of existence. It is a reminder to approach life with a sense of curiosity and playfulness, embracing the F for fun.
As you navigate the complexities of life, may you find moments of joy and lightness, where the distinction between truth and lie fades away, and you can simply embrace the present moment with a spirit of fun.
