Some people will lie to themselves just to avoid facing how disgraceful their actions were. They will rewrite history, distort reality, and twist the truth to play the victim, shift the blame, and dodge responsibility for the damage they’ve done. But this isn’t ignorance—it’s cowardice. They’re too weak to own their mistakes, too selfish to care about the harm they caused, and too arrogant to admit they were wrong.
They might think they got the upper hand. But in truth, they only cheated themselves—out of someone genuine, someone who invested in them, and someone who had the patience and heart to bring light into their life. Their selfishness, dishonesty, and inability to value what mattered most ensured their own downfall. They may walk away feeling victorious, but the real loss is theirs. They will never know what it’s like to be truly seen, understood, and loved for who they are.
Their actions expose them for what they really are: not clever, not powerful, not righteous—but weak, insecure, and morally bankrupt. They care more about saving face than making amends, more about clinging to a lie than fixing what they broke, and more about fooling others than becoming better. But the joke is on them. No matter how much they deceive themselves, no matter how many excuses they make, the truth will catch up with them. And when it does, they’ll have no one left to blame but themselves.
And that will be their final, inescapable truth.
