Wisdom Quotation

"If we lie, and the people we lie to lie back to us, what's the truth? (O'Donoghue, Maureen)"

Lying- the deliberate act of deviating from the truth.

As human beings we go through our days telling lies. Whether we realize it or not or whether we want to or not. It sometimes comes out as easily as breathing. We tell lies to cover things up, to tell people what we think we want to hear. You know what's horrible about that. You tell lies to people to get their reactions but what we all forget is that their reactions are just lies that they don't even know that they're telling us.

Most of the time we tell lies to get us through the day. We lie about what we think. We lie to ourselves how we feel. What we think we believe in. We just can't help it because we've gotten so use to it.

How do we even pick up lying? I think it starts with our parents. They tell us so many lies that it clouds our vision. They tell us lies that their parents told them. They tell us how Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy are all real. You know what? When we're older and have children we'll tell them these same lies. Why? Who knows. Maybe it's like we tell them lies because we know deep down as children we were happy when these lies were told to us.

You really want to know something? Lies don't fix anything. At least not in the long run. We say everything's fine. You know what? It's not fine. It's never ever going to be fine. If we can't see that then what are we seeing. From all of the lies we tell and people tell back we might as well be upside down, or on another planet. As long as theirs lies in this world we're so far from the actual truth.

What's the worst thing that can happen? People see or hear the truth. That blanket that's covering their eyes from all of those lies gets thinner? If we tell the truth today then you get to know the truth and not truth that forms from the lies.
