Greetings!
One thing about humans is that no one is perfect, although God created us in his image which is a perfect image, but even with that, no one is perfect, it's only God that's perfect.
Having said this, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about that, “friends don't lie.”
Well to me, the saying should be true, but it's not, especially in our current age or dispensation when friendship is all about betrayal and lies.
Although, friendship in the past was full of loyalty and it would be kind of hard for one to lie to his or her friend not to talk of betraying them and as a result, the saying “friends don't lie” became the order of the day.
However, that's then, people, most especially friends, don't lie to each other alone these days, but also betray and hurt one another.
Some time ago, a friend of mine in whom I put all my trust lied and betrayed me. I called him into a partnership business and we both agreed not to lie nor betray each other, but as time went by, I realized that this friend of mine was hiding the truth to me about the running of the business which was a supplying business.
Then, I realized that he got a contract to supply 10 trucks of granite worth 25tons each, but my friend lied to me that he was called to supply 3 trucks worth of 10tons thereby reducing the profit to be gained together.
It's later that I got to know that he was lying to me when a customer of mine whom he had hijacked told me about the operation.
It's so shocking and disappointing when I got to know that he lied to me and ever since then, I never believed in the popular saying that says “friends don't lie.” again.
Thanks for reading.
