The Truth About Lies.

We get to wonder why we get hurt when people lie. If everybody lies... do we honestly think that we have the guts to get disappointed or get angry when someone has done it to us?

We lie to maintain somebody's secret, protect someone's reputation, avoid somebody's feeling to get hurt or to not get punished for something that was done. Means justifying the end? What kind of end are we talking about? We might think that for a day, a week, or a month... everything could turn out okay after the lie... but how long can we keep it that way?

Honesty is not always the best policy. Sometimes, we get to wish we never knew the truth for the reason that we can not handle it. The denial and deception makes us cling to the reality that we have started to believe in, and makes us hold on to our sanity. Maybe, some truth are bigger than us.Or truth is subjective, perhaps.

There are times in our lives, some of us i guess, makes us search for more. There are a lot of things that could bother us and yet, not know what those things are. We lie to ourselves that we are happy, we are contented, because thats how the meaning of life goes.

And please dont give me to Run-To-Jesus crap to simply know the truth. It doesnt work that way. Spare Him for the delusion you want to create. It might be the answer to the search, but lets not always rely on him and also not do something about it.

When we were kids, we were taught that lying was bad. lying was a sin. and so white lies were also explained to us as we grow, an unusually "lighter" lie. but still a lie. might as well call it gray coz it was never pure in the first place. and again, we are not in the position to say that its "lighter". it might be big for the person we lied to.

Personally, i dont take it negatively when someone lies to me. Not that i do not know or see when a person lies. I give the benefit of the doubt but theres this one thing that im REALLY afraid of.

I may not trust anyone.
