No relationship is perfect and sometimes, we tell little white lies. We say that we didn’t eat the last cookie in the jar even if we did, or that we love our partner more than the Super Bowl or Park Jimin of BTS. They’re cute, and they’re harmless.
However, there are lies that break bonds and relationships.

Don’t lie to people who trust you. And don’t trust the people who lie to you. Simple as that.
There is a battle of two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth. The wolf that wins? The one you feed. – American Indian Proverbs
