- Traffic jam - lorries being made late - would they ever try to alter their tachographs to cover the delay.
- "Therese Raquin" by Emile Zola - wife and lover murder husband - need to tell one more lie after another.
- Betting debts - take (ie steal) a small amount of money at first to cover debts - more debt - more money taken - more trouble.
Conclusion: EVERYTHING ESCALATES
Every time we try to cover up our tracks, we create more tracks to hide!
So -
WE SHOULD FACE THE TRUTH - OWN UP - TAKE THE RAP.
IT'S NEVER AS BAD AS WE THINK IT MIGHT BE.
It's certainly not as bad as one lie leading to another, then another and so on.
So -
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THIS:
- TELL THE TRUTH,
- BE, AND SAY, SORRY
- MAKE AMENDS AS BEST WE CAN.
