“So that’s what they meant by mirror identical!” Ramses mused out loud. As they were facing each other, it looked like they were mirroring each other. The twins let out a howl of pain and automatically reached for the offended area at the same time. He closed his aquamarine eyes, count to ten and swiftly kicks Marcus in the shin. Ramses shrugs and ate lunch with his buddies in silence wondering how to finish carrying out his theory without Marcus killing him. “Feel what?” Marcus gruffly asks tearing into the beef sandwich. “You didn’t feel that?” Ramses asked the ever-scowling twin. I… hey!” Ray cried out as Ramses slaps him on the arm just as Marcus proceeds to sit. “So, I read something interesting about identical twins.” When he had Ray’s curious attention, he asked, “If I were to hit you, would Marc feel it?” “Poetry is not my thing.” Ramses realized that Marcus was wrapping up his pep talk with the football team of which he was the captain of.

In the Bible, we clearly see that lying is a sin and yes, very displeasing to God. If love is unrequited, then why would you beg to be told that you’re loved when you’re not? Does being deceived makes you happy? Unfortunately, some of us just roll with it even though we know it’s wrong to hold onto false hopes.
