Quote by Lionel Suggs

I create lies for people in order for them to find something true about themselves. I teach people that lies are doors that opens up to truth. Either you accept the lie, or you run away from it, thus, eliminating the meaning behind it, and what is could have accomplished.

I create lies for people in order for them to find something

Summary

This quote suggests that lies can serve a purpose in helping people discover truths about themselves. By creating lies, the intention is to present individuals with thought-provoking situations that prompt self-reflection. These lies act as doors that can either be accepted or rejected. If embraced, they have the potential to unlock personal growth and valuable insights. However, if avoided or disregarded, these lies lose their purpose, preventing the understanding and transformative power they could have brought. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of confronting and grappling with uncomfortable or challenging ideas to fully benefit from them.
