“Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.” - Dorothy Allison

Decryption of quote

Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.

Imagine a delicate web of deceit woven around a fragile truth, holding it together like a house of cards. The foundation may seem strong at first, but as time passes and the weight of the lies grows heavier, cracks begin to form.

Each lie is like a thread in the fabric of reality, pulling at the seams and threatening to unravel the entire tapestry. The more lies that are told, the more fragile the truth becomes, until eventually it can no longer bear the strain and collapses under the weight of deception.

When lies are used to hold things together, they create a false sense of security that is bound to crumble eventually. Like a poorly constructed building, the truth can only withstand so much before it comes crashing down.

It is a reminder that honesty is the cornerstone of any strong foundation. Without it, even the most seemingly solid structures are destined to fall apart. Lies may provide temporary relief, but in the end, they only serve to weaken the very thing they were meant to protect.

When the truth is obscured by lies, it becomes increasingly difficult to see clearly. Like a fog that clouds the mind, deception distorts reality and makes it impossible to discern what is real from what is fabricated.

But when the lies are stripped away and the truth is allowed to shine through, a sense of clarity and freedom emerges. The weight of deception is lifted, and what remains is a sense of authenticity and integrity that cannot be shaken.

So let us remember that honesty is not just a virtue, but a necessity for maintaining the integrity of our relationships and our own sense of self. Only by facing the truth head-on can we truly build a foundation that is strong enough to withstand the test of time.

For in the end, it is the truth that will always prevail, no matter how many lies are used to try and hold it back. And when the lies finally crumble, what is left standing is a testament to the power of honesty and the resilience of the human spirit.
