Ashwin

I have never lied.
But is the payoff of an eternity in heaven really worth it?
Not many people can take the blatant, unforgiving truth. They’d rather be lied to. I’ve been insulted, cursed, spat at, hit with a chair and thrown through a window, simply because I speak the truth. The price I pay is far worse than anything you can imagine. To experience even one-hundredth of what I’ve been through, tell a woman that she looks fat.
And here’s the worst part. I can’t do shit about it. It’s not that I willingly adhere to the ninth commandment. It’s just that I don’t have much of a choice.
