Lose With The Truth — Or Win With Lies
You can win with lies or gain victory with the truth. But by winning with lies, you will eventually lose.
Tom Linton loved Jesse Grant for five years, from high school to college. He did everything a guy in love would do. Roses, chocolate, serenades, poems, gifts, and everything his friends and family suggested. Everything he tried failed. He moved on in frustration.
Thirty years later, at their high school reunion, Tom was shocked to see that Jesse was still beautiful, looking as she did in high school.
He stared at her from a distance, chatting happily with her former classmates. He noticed that she wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.
The music chimes in, and everyone starts to move to the rhythm.
A voice to his left egged, “No ring means no husband.”
The voice to his right suggested, “a ring doesn’t mean happiness. You want the truth, asked her.”
He followed both voices and danced his way over, “Can I have this dance for old time sake?”
Jesse smiles, swaying to Marvin Gaye’s ‘You Are Nothing But The Real Thing, “how are you?”
