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...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
