The Domino Effect
Proverbs 14:25 CSB
A truthful witness rescues lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.
The Domino effect
The above scripture is from Proverbs, the book of wisdom found in the Holy Bible, which provides Advices on how to live a successful life that will not bring us Shame and regrets.
Its saying that honesty is always the best route as it saves us from the domino effect of troubles that comes from lying and being dishonest.
The domino effect is an expression referring to how one problem brings another, and how things only get worse and worse over time and the whole outcome is a collapse and complete destruction.
Typical scenarios of doing a small dishonest action, trying to hide it with a lie, than creating a fake scenario to maintain the lie, than creating more lies to hide the original lie and than being overwhelmed by this spiderweb of dishonesty, we become pursued by fear of being discovered and make a foolish mistake and end up in a very bad situation .
Being honest is not always easy, but it will be harder to be be dishonest.
The Question to ask before making the decision to take an action over an other is : Is this going to haunt me sooner or later?
If the answer is yes, DON'T DO IT!
Life is too short and too valuable to waste time with the regret of such bad decisions.

Be blessed and Stay Safe.
