When you walk the path of truth, it does not matter whether there are others walking with you. Because on this journey of truth, god is walking by your side, with you. You feel his presence. His presence gives you courage. It does not matter you are alone. Your strength comes from God.
But when you walk the path of lies, even if the entire world is with you; god is not with you. You miss his presence.
People who commit crimes, lie, kill or do wrong know this in their heart, that I am in it alone. God is not with me on this journey. It is a very lonely journey.
The only difference between choosing the path of truth or or the path of lies, is god's company.
