Scarlet Letter

My Scarlet Letter

A sin that continues to haunt me every now and then is lying. The letter I would receive from this sin is an L. Lying is something I try to do very little of because it ends up creating more problems for me than fixing them. Sometimes I get caught in my lies and it makes me feel like shit. Lying to someone’s face especially when they trust you and you respect them is never an easy thing to do, even though sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.  

A time when I lied was when I told people I already had tickets to Super Bowl XLIX when the Patriots played the Seahawks. The truth was that we planned on getting the tickets down at the game in Arizona because my father expected the prices to drop closer to game day. My father has been to a couple of Super Bowls and that’s what happened in the past so he expected this one to be the same. Instead of the tickets dropping closer to game time, they kept going up.  The cheapest tickets I think were eight thousand dollars which would have been sixteen thousand for me and my father which is ridiculous. So instead of going to the game, we drove to Las Vegas and watched the game in the Dillinger Bar which is something I will never forget. Now how this lie affected me, I had to tell people that I actually never had tickets to the game and I felt stupid and idiotic for not telling the truth to begin with. Once I got back to school, it was awkward explaining what happened to everyone and it made me feel horrible. There’s nothing worse than lying and getting caught because it’s just simply embarrassing. People even started a rumor that I got fake tickets which I had to clear up also when I got back. This goes back to my point that lying creates more problems than it fixes. On a personal level, I felt like shit and it gave me a feeling that I never wanted to experience again. Now I try to limit how much I lie and try to not lie at all because to be honest it’s way better telling the truth because you feel way better after. Another reason why I limit my lying is because I don’t want anyone to lie to me so why should I be doing it to them. My sin is something that I try to limit in my life because I know one of these days it’s going to come back and get me.

A sin that continues to haunt me every now and then is lying. The letter I would receive from this sin is an L. I gave one example of a time that I lied but there are more situations when I have lied. I’ve lied to my friends, my parents and others and those situations also left me feeling horrible. Once you lie to someone, you can immediately lose their trust which is such a bad feeling especially when the person is important to you. I try to be honest in everything that I do because I know how bad it feels to get caught in a lie but sometimes it just happens. Lying is something I run from but in the end there’s no hiding, it catches up once in a while.
