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?

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography) about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
