“Lies, lies, lies... That’s what the world is made of.”

I'm definitely not a religious guy and don't have the habit of going to the church, following all the catholic rules and stuff. I just believe in God and ask Him to always look after my self, my family and friends. Of course, as any kid who grows up in a religious catholic family like mine, I end up learning a lot about the religion and, while my parents could still "rule" my life, I was baptized and went to all the first communion classes, learning a lot of the things that are in the Bible. Obviously many of these things interfered a lot in my values and in what I believe today. I actually think they were quite useful and gave me a lot of base, getting me ready to better deal with problems and people in my life.
But, anyway... Between all the things I read and learnt with my religion, there was a particular part of the Bible that I never forgot. It's about lies, honesty, etc...
It relates when a group of people was chasing and trying to kill a woman who lied and cheated on her husband. At the exactly moment she had nowhere else to run and they would finally kill her throwing her stones, Jesus stoped everyone and said:
- Throw the first stone the man who never told a lie.
Suddenly everyone thought for a moment and walked away leaving the woman behind...

I could expend hours and hours writing a huge text telling what this part of the Bible is about and what I could learn with that... But, whatever, I won’t. I hope people who read my blog can understand what I'm trying to say. If you don't, just grab a Bible and read it a little bit. Don't worry, if you are a clarified person, it won't make you fanatic or anything like that. It will only get you a little bit less septic and with better directions in your life.
