    :hello: Which was Born First - Truth or Lie :hello:

    I happen to be earshot of a woman near a butchery shop sale counter next . It was nearing closing time for the shop.
    She asks the salesman behind the counter,

    "Do you still have chicken?"

    The salesman opens his deep freezer, takes out his only chicken left and puts it on the weighing scale.

    It weighs 1.5 kg.

    The prrcipient woman looks at the chicken and at the scale and asked,

    "Do you have one that's a tad heavier than this?"

    The man puts his only chicken back into the freezer, and then a while later takes it out again.

    But this time when he puts it on the scale, he craftily keeps his thumb on the scale pan.

    And the scale now shows 2 kg.

    The lady notices but instead of pointing out she says
    "That's wonderful, I'll take both of them, please!"

    In a situation like this, one realizes at once that one's integrity and reputation are firmly on the line.
    One's wisdom becomes foolishness, and his or her cunningness becomes stupidity.

    Until now the butcher cum sales man has his head inside the big deep freezer, looking for the first chicken.

    Therefore it is apparent that
    1. Always tell the truth, and one can be relatively free.
    2. A good name is better than riches.
    3. Live to express - not to impress others.

    Interesting story and equally fair conclusions.
    What came first? Truth or Lie?
    I am of the opinion that it was truth. In the beginning, may be, truth prevailed but soon people realised that lie is more beneficial in the short run. It took a long time to give names to these two situations.

    Instances do happen.Whether it is true or false is always subjective,depending on the person in the spot.Every one says 'At last truth will win'.
    Does it mean that whichever wins is the truth?
