One of the great mysteries of being human is just HOW exactly can some people's view points become so skewed from the truth? HOW can they say the grass is purple for instance when it's obvious it's green? Now, of course I'm being silly when I say that someone thinks the grass is purple... but my point is, is that in that same context as how very far apart purple is from the color green... so too as these people with the distance between what they believe to be the truth is from reality.
HOW?! How do their brains function in it's ability to get so very far from the truth? And... HOW can they honestly convince themselves that what they think is true is true when they just HAVE to KNOW that it isn't! Don't those type people KNOW what's really true, but lie to others and themselves for their own benefits?
And... HOW do they sleep at night? Knowing that they are nothing but lies?... I couldn't do it. My conscious would get to me too much! I'm honest to a fault! I couldn't live with myself in a lie. So, if you want to know the truth... ask me. I can't lie. I'll tell you the grass is green. If you don't like that... then you'll have to not ask.
I guess for some people it's so much easier for them to make up a lie as their 'truth' then to face the fact that they lied... to face the fact that perhaps they did something wrong... and afterall, who wants to own up to their own mistakes? That would require maturity and responsibility and perhaps making apologies.... that would take someone with character... a humble soul, for you can't be arrogant and make apologies...
Sadly some people live their lives walking in purple grass... never looking in the mirror for they know what the reflection would be looking back at them if they did... it wouldn't be pretty... it'd be that of a life of lies and deception, immaturity and arrogance... sins...
It's only too late for apologies,... if you're six feet under... then, it's too late.
Apologizing to God for your sins is one thing, and yes! God WILL forgive you. That's the easy one. But the hard apology is to the person you lied to or about... that's the one that requires you to become humble and acknowledge your lies... Asking that person isn't always easy. Admitting you were wrong... admitting that they might have reacted poorly to you based on how you treated them first... isn't easy.... but, it IS freeing!
It's never too late... the grass isn't purple..
