Four Types Of Truth

So there are different kinds of truth which are inspired by three things – the weight of the confession, the person we are telling it to and our mood. All of these influences our truth so before you believe whatever someone says, you may need to consider some of the kind of truths that exist. And hey, we’re not saying you should begin to disbelieve anyone, just add a little tact to your system, will you?

The plain truth. This is actually a model of what the truth should look like which is saying things just the way they are. Calling a spade a spade not just a piece of farm tool. This kind of truth doesn’t care about offending others or other negative consequences attached to truth telling. People who tell this truth do not care about the weight of the truth or the mood in which they tell it, they say it anyway. This is the kind of truth the bible expects us to tell, the kind of one that sets you free – spiritually and conscience wise though.

The half-truth. Just the way the name indicates, it’s not an entire lie but not an entire truth either. It’s the spot between a lie and a truth. A person telling this truth might admit to finding out about something in a way that only explains the side in which he won’t be affected leaving out how he found it or his involvement with it if it was something he wasn’t supposed to be involved with. It could be stating a fact but pretending to know nothing else about it even when everything else shows some sort of connection.

The diplomatic truth. This is my favorite kind of truth, don’t look at me like that, I tell the plain truth most times. This kind of truth is usually very subtle. It puts into consideration the weight of the truth, the mood and most especially the person the truth is being told to. The person has the ability to tell another person how stupid they are without using the actual word. This kind of truth is usually told using sarcasm and that's why most people love this kind of truth.

The non-truth. Okay, I was supposed to refer to this as a lie but I'd rather call it the non-truth. Some people will be caught in the act and still deny it. For instance, two people are making out but when they're caught, they claim to be siblings and you're like gjdgfjkh? Or people who claim to have what they don't when they obviously don't have it.

Well, that's my list of truths so before you believe any truth, be sure of the kind of truth it is. I'm sure you've seen other kinds, experienced other types of truth, or you're the teller of the truth, share with us will you?

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died. I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty. Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess. I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day. I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone. ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
