No Filter and Other Lies makes a chicken come home to roost.
Today, I’m writing a post about a neighbor who always tells lies. I know she lies because I have seen and heard her. For example, her son has left the home for his workplace, but this mother instructed her male domestic worker, to speak in a fake voice to imitate that son, in order to fool the neighbors into believing that he is still at home. She does this to seduce and persuade others, to manipulate them to bend according to her whims. The domestic help and her would talk about how her son likes another neighbor, when in fact, this son has expressed his hatred of that neighbor in question.
This plot was executed with the motive of persuading that neighbor to think well of her son and consequently, think well of her too. Her mind and mouth have no filter, as she bluntly and blatantly lies, even in the face of truth staring at her. One of her motives is to control others by inducing people to believe in falsehoods.
I think nobody can be taken advantage of, as they need to survive and thrive, before they can be off any help to others. When a struggling person is bullied and misled into submission, it isn’t long before s/he caves in and falls down like a card. Subsequently, the house of lies can also fall from the domino effect.
The starter of lies would be a chicken come home to roost.
