When we think of Pillars, we assume by their mere name and girth, they are strong and solid. Strong enough to support a structure.
It is the same as with a Dom. By their proclamation and their title, we assume they are strong, honourable and trustworthy.
But we all know that is not always the case.
Some pillars, while they appear to be the same on the outside, are not real at all. In truth, they are Nothing. They are made of paper mache. Nothing on the inside. Aesthetically they give the appearance as a support. When in truth, given the chance, will crumble and would leave in a pile of rubble, the structure they appear to be supporting.
Those with PILLARS appearing to support the back of your house, you might want to inspect them every now and then to ensure they truly are supportive, and not waiting for an opportunity to pull out from underneath and leave destruction in their wake.
So in keeping with the analogy and comparison to a Dom. Some are shallow, Devoid of substance. Predatory, lying in wait for an opportunity to have what they want with no regard for who gets hurt or the consequences of their actions. They are in fact, SMALL men, not giants. And while they may appear to be strong and supportive to those whom they claim to be a friend, will pounce on the chance to take for their own without conscience.
They lie and decieve and are not to be trusted with anything held dear in your house. For when they crumble, they leave nothing but betrayal and pain in their wake. Perhaps these LIARS would take heed if, as well, their own house crumbled in their wake of destruction. They are not immune.
I'll say it again ... Better to live a life of integrity.
