A Quick Note To Kofi Boakye-Yiadom - On The Propensity Of All Humans To Lie

Favourite nephew,

The angels in heaven will tell you that ever since Eve made Adam lose his integrity, not a single human being can be pointed to, to date, as someone who has never told a white-lie, in his or her life, before.

Since time immemorial, they have all been at it, and are all still at it: Monarchs; Popes; Presidents; Prime Ministers; tycoons; alter boys; slay queens, pop stars; mortuary-men; borla-men; prostitutes; pastors; etc, etc. Get the picture? Cool.

It shows you the extent of the hypocrisy of humans that everyone on the planet Earth, pretends publicly, that they have never told a white lie before. Incredible.

Speaking for myself, when I am nice to a toxic person, on a social media platform, trolling others, who comment negatively on a post of mine, from the safety of his or her digital device, on sundry locations globally, for example, I do so for the sake of young people who might come across it and read it, Massa.

However, it counts as a white-lie in heaven - because God Almighty knows that on such occasions, there is always murder in my mind. May God Almighty forgive me for all my many sins. Amen. Should I pray for you too, anaaaa, favourite nephew? Never trust a human who tells you that he or she doesn't lie. It is a big-fat-lie. Some call it hypocrisy, though - but the angels in heaven will tell you that all humans have a propensity to lie. Cool, la. Hmmm, eyeasem, ooooo...
