I lied but for the good. The truth is something I was forbidden to say by another loved one and if it leaked out well that would have been a mess. There is a deeper purpose to my lie as it is for a greater good then me. Just as one as to say an ugly dress looks pretty on a wedding day so does this lie help cover a greater good. G-D knows I want to be honest yet knows there are times when it should be bent and this is my clock today. G-D willing this lie will lead to a path that will wipe my slate clean sooner rather than later.
FOOTNOTE- Jacob went down this path have you done as well?
