Recently, a very unusual story appeared on some news portals. <\/span>A Spaniard named Carla Jimenez, 57, allegedly pretended to be blind for 28 years just to avoid having to greet acquaintances on the street. <\/span>The woman is so averse to human contact that even family members were deceived \u2013 including her husband. <\/span>The story she told was that she had suffered an eye injury. <\/span>Despite this, she put on perfect makeup and still watched TV. <\/span>These and other attitudes aroused the distrust of many people, and she ended up confessing that, in reality, she could see normally.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

”I’ve never been a very social person and by pretending to be blind I was able to get rid of a lot of social commitments that I didn’t want to go to”, said Carla to the Spanish website that publicized the case.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, she will have to respond in court for the lie, as she received government assistance for claiming to be disabled. <\/span>The story was shared on several international websites, but many question whether the case is true or not. <\/span>But in the world we live in, it’s not hard to believe it’s real.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The story helps us reflect on how people prefer to deceive rather than face their problems. <\/span>Instead of committing a crime and hurting the people she loves, wouldn’t it be easier for her to have assumed her interaction difficulty? <\/span>Many might not like his antisocial ways, but it would be less work than fooling them for so long. <\/span>Definitely lying is not <\/span><\/span>good business<\/span><\/span><\/a> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut nothing is covered up that will not be discovered; <\/span>nor hidden, that shall not be known.”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong> Luke 12.2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Truth is the best option<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Word of God strongly condemns the act of lying and even compares the person who lies to the devil ( <\/span><\/span>Read John 8.44<\/span><\/span><\/strong> ). <\/span>In <\/span><\/span>God’s eyes<\/span><\/span><\/a> , even deceiving in jest is a terrible thing: <\/span><\/span>“Like a madman who releases sparks, arrows, and death, so is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, I did it in jest.” <\/span><\/span><\/em> <\/strong>Proverbs 26.18,19<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In many moments it is difficult to be honest. <\/span>The truth may embarrass or hurt at first, but it is the best choice to make. <\/span>Lying destroys trust, stains relationships and undermines our Salvation. <\/span>It may bring some ease and relief for a while, but it comes at a high price. <\/span>So when tempted to lie, remember what the Bible teaches and choose to <\/span><\/span>please God<\/span><\/span><\/a> . <\/span>There is nothing better than a clear conscience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But if, even knowing the right thing to do, you still encounter difficulties, attend the <\/span><\/span>School of Faith<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> meetings , which take place every Wednesday, at our <\/span><\/span>local Help Center<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
