Realized the title could be used as a song title, but that's not the point today/tonight/early this morning anyway.
All of us lied before, be it about the smallest things or biggest things. We lied to our parents, our friends, our teachers, those around us, and ourselves.
We lied, to run away from responsibilities and consequences. We lied, so we didn't have to do much. We lied, because we are scared of what our actions will cause. We lied, for self-interest, not knowing sometimes the truth is all it takes to clear things up.
White lies. Are they necessary?
Why do we lie to others, when all that needs to be done is just to say the truth? Are we really that scared of just admitting a mistake? Hiding the truth, why does it seem to create mistrust? Is it just a natural reaction to the unknown, do not trust something when you don't know the truth? Or does the truth frighten us? The truth that might show the world who we REALLY are, exposing the lies we live in?
Why do we lie to ourselves? Is that the first step to lying to others? If we can deceive ourselves, surly we can deceive anther person? Or is it that if we keep lying to ourselves, one day we would actually really believe in it? We can say there's nothing wrong with our current situation, but why are others able to see that it's all a lie sometimes? Horrible acting or just the sub conscience need for truth?
I find myself lying to myself quite often. "I don't care", when in fact, i want to jump up and settle it right away. Is that ok, to pretend to not care, when every fiber of me wants to care? Am i actually lying to myself?
Are we lying to ourselves, when others see a situation outrageous, but ourselves don't think it is?
Am i lying to myself that i'm fine with the way things are proceeding when i would have liked it to be otherwise? That i'm holding up fine when there are times i wish i could just break down and cry?
Why do we have to hide so many things?
I guess now the problem is that are we able to handle the truth when it comes.
