Hiding the Truth: Why It’s a Form of Cheating and Betrayal

When we think about cheating, most of us picture deceit, infidelity, or a deliberate act of dishonesty. But what about the things we *don't* say? Hiding the truth, even with the intention of "protecting" someone, is also a form of cheating. It may not feel as blatant as outright lying, but it can be just as damaging—if not more. Whether in romantic relationships, friendships, or even work environments, hiding the truth undermines trust, breeds doubt, and invites karmic consequences.

Why Hiding is Cheating

At its core, hiding the truth creates a barrier between two people. Trust thrives on openness, and when someone withholds important information, they manipulate the narrative, controlling how the other person perceives reality. This distortion of the truth is a form of emotional manipulation, and it's unfair to the person being kept in the dark.

When you hide the truth, you're not allowing the other person the opportunity to make informed decisions based on the whole picture. You're essentially stripping away their right to know what’s really happening, and in that sense, it's a betrayal of their trust. And just like outright lying, this kind of secrecy can slowly erode the foundation of any relationship.

Karma Always Knows

One of the most significant spiritual aspects of hiding the truth is the karmic weight it carries. Every action we take is tied to an intention, and hiding the truth is often rooted in fear, insecurity, or selfishness—all of which are low-vibration intentions. These energies don’t disappear into thin air; they create ripples in our lives and relationships. Karma, the universal law of cause and effect, sees everything. When you withhold the truth, you're sending out dishonest energy, and that energy will eventually return to you in one form or another.

Destroying Trust in Relationships

Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and once it’s broken, it’s incredibly difficult to rebuild. Hiding the truth chips away at that trust, leaving your partner or loved one to question what else you might be keeping from them. It creates a cycle of doubt and insecurity, where even the smallest omissions can turn into major sources of conflict.

People are intuitive. They may not always know exactly what’s being hidden, but they often sense when something is off. When the truth eventually comes to light—as it almost always does—partners or friends will naturally ask more questions. They’ll dig deeper, and this can lead to even more dishonesty. Cheaters and those who hide the truth tend to lie directly to our faces, even when the evidence is overwhelming. This not only insults the intelligence of the other person but also deepens the wound.

The Consequences of Hidden Truths

When we think we’re sparing someone’s feelings by hiding the truth, we’re often just delaying the inevitable fallout. The truth always has a way of coming out, and when it does, the damage is usually far greater than if we had been honest from the start. Relationships built on half-truths or omissions are fragile and often crumble when the weight of unspoken realities becomes too much to bear.

Moreover, the person who’s been kept in the dark may feel even more hurt when they realize they’ve been deceived not just by lies but by intentional omissions. They may start questioning everything—was anything ever real? This kind of doubt can be incredibly destructive, leaving lasting scars on the relationship.

Be Honest, Even When It’s Hard

The lesson here is simple: honesty is always the best policy. Even when the truth is difficult to share, even when it might hurt, it’s better to be upfront. Being honest fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and allows for real communication and healing. Hiding the truth might feel like the easier path in the moment, but it’s often the beginning of a much more painful journey.

In conclusion, hiding the truth is a form of cheating, whether we acknowledge it or not. It undermines trust, invites karmic consequences, and sets the stage for more dishonesty. In relationships of any kind—romantic, platonic, or professional—honesty is the foundation that allows trust and love to grow. Don't let hidden truths destroy what could otherwise be a strong, authentic connection.

Everyone lies. We all have done it at some point in our lives. Some more than others. I try REALLY hard, though, to live a life of honesty and truthfulness. And I would expect the same from others. Sadly, that is not often the case. Lying greatly hurts the ones who have been lied to. So, why do people lie when there is so much to lose from doing so? Some people lie to save face. Some people lie in order to deceive for personal gain. People lie to preserve an image of themselves that they've projected to others. That is another way of saying that they lie because they want others to see them in a certain way. Liars take a calculated risk of being caught. Its a big gamble, depending on the size of the lie. When people lie, who do you know whom to trust? Without trust, the person who has been lied to is probably going to walk away. Or they should, at any rate. Many times, when people lie to you, it is because of your very best qualities that they are attracted to and know that if you had the truth about them or a situation, you would walk. They want you to maintain your shiny image of them juuuust a little longer. They don't want to let you down or disappoint you. Still, when lies are found out, often times the person doing the lying will confess, but continue the further pattern of repeat lying. Best case scenario, they won't. Law of averages show they will. The reason I hate lies, though, is not only because it hurts deeply to be lied to, but once trust is broken - especially when it is someone like me who does not trust easily in the first place, it is pretty much impossible to get back. If you lie to me about one thing, what else have you lied to me about? Lies are a deal breaker for me. The worst part about being lied to, is knowing they thought you weren't worth the truth. #Lies #HurtMeWithTheTruthButNeverComfortMeWithALie #LyingLiarsWhoLie #WhyLie #BeHonest #HaveIntegrity #IALWAYSFindOut #DontBreakMyTrust #BeAPersonOfGoodCharacter #HonestyIsKey #SingleMom #SingleMomLife https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZKlTVAGfm/?igshid=pw4aigi5ss71

So many problems in the world and many of them have to do with dishonest and cunning people. We have to be careful who we disclose our vision and goals. This is something Africa is suffering from, especially West Africa.

So I'm feeling emotions and decided to make a comic to vent a little. Here's a snippet.

"Sometimes I wish I was a superhero.

Someone with some sort of...POWER that came easily to them.

Sometimes everything is hard,

and I just want to feel effortless again."

Pictures are deceiving. Easily, we can load old pics and vids and post them as today, and then be in the toilet or something. Or we can pretend the food is awesome with a good pic. With that said, I took a pic of this plate because it looked amazing. My eyes were all like, "Omgosh, looks delish!" This was the shittiest food I've ever had. What a dishonest plate. Looks & pics are deceiving. Lol That's it. End of story. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 And no, I will NOT be revealing where I got this food. I'd feel bad about it. I'm just never returning there. 😂 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 #deceivinglooks #deceiving #lolz #dishonest #honestymatters #honestyquotes #honestyiskey #foodie #instafood #pornfood #foodporn #neveragain #neversaynever
