Lying is an Art

At one point in our lives, we have all lied. We lie everyday about everything and anything; worse, some of us have even perfected the art of lying so much that we even believe our own lies!

But what is a lie? Experts (if they are not lying themselves) posit that lying is some form of art and that just like the oldest profession of prostitution, my quick recollection of the bible tells me that even God was not spared of lies many centuries ago; that the real reason why we find ourselves in this hell called earth today is because some two people, acting in song and in cahoots with a little snake, lied once and landed us all in this predicament! I would later learn as the years went by, that the incident is the reason why some people sometimes even label others as snakes. It makes perfect sense.

While I still have trouble buying into the version of whom the cheeky snake deceived first, I nonetheless agree that lying is some form of a curse!
