Last night there was nothing on TV. So we had watched in the past a couple episodes of the show, Moment of Truth, its where you get hooked up to a lie detector and then asked questions.
It said this was a controversial episode and most of the time I think these reality shows are faked, so we watched it.
There was this woman on there with her husband and parents. The questions started off ok but then she was asked, were you in love with someone else on your wedding day. She answered yes, the lie detector said she was telling the truth, the audience clapped. Next she was asked, do you think you should be married to someone other than your husband, she said yes, again, it was the truth. Then they brought out an ex boyfriend who asked her, something about if she should be married to him instead, she said yes, again she told the truth. Meanwhile the husband was sitting here devastated. The next question was have you ever cheated on your husband, she said yes, again it was the truth, the audience clapped.
At this point I wanted her to win just so her soon to be ex husband could get the money. But she decided to keep playing. The next question was do you think you are a good person. DUH. But guess what she said yes. Now she is either delusional or has no conscience. But she was sure of her answer. But the lie detector said she lied. She lost it ALL. Not only had she lost the money but had probably lost her husband too. But I really don't think she cared. If she was that heartless to air her dirty laundry for everyone, and to say and do the things she did, I 'm sure she could have cared less about how she made her husband feel.
But it never really hit home until my husband who had been sitting there said these questions were my real life, I lived thru every one of them and the answers were the same. And he had, but I had forgotten and was being entertained just like everyone else.
Sometimes we forget what our entertainment is costing someone else. It may all have been rigged just for the show, but I know for many out there is was real life at one time.
So I want us all to remember at times we may laugh at funny shows, or things in life that may not be so funny to someone else. Sometimes our laughs may be at others expense.
It also made me wonder what damage sin has done to people's conscience that even after all that she could say she was a good person. In our own lives do we sometimes not examine ourselves enough to see if we are good. Or like her have we gotten to the point that sin doesn't bother us and we can make excuses for the things we do..
