Well?

I am quite confused. You didn’t hint at what you are doing and I see no sign of word since. Please tell us!

Water cooling? Ice cream machine? A theme park for fish?

Lies damage the liar and their relationship with whomever they’ve lied to.Be it a parent, boss, spouse, etc..

People usually lie to “stay out of trouble”. If someone is doing this, they aren’t assuming responsibility for their actions. I have seen this habit stay with a person into adulthood with little chance of having true friends, rather, most people try to stay away from them (”you can never believe a thing he says” is usually whispered behind their back).

The opportunity for personal growth is lost and the person never fully matures when they incorporate lying into their personality.

I was brought up a “southern lady” in many respects of the word; and as such one is careful what they say to whom, and how, My mother called these little white lies, said to avoid hurting someone’s feelings (ie; “that dress is a most becoming color on you dear” or “of course you’re not too heavy!”).

I began to feel these “white lies” were not good for me. I felt bad saying them and wondered if I couldn’t say something truthful and nice as well. Baring that, just being tactfully truthful. It took practice but was doable and after a while, easy. Especially in my spirit . . . where I have to live with myself.

Harder was becoming tactfully truthful. Try telling someone that a joke is offensive to you when everyone else is laughing. Well it can be done with practice and once people know where you stand they become respectful of that.

So, go for it. Respect is worth it. Respecting ourselves, moreso.

I would much rather have someone mad at me for telling them the truth, then for them to find out I built some awful story and lied to them for months.

Also, truthiness FTW!

It’s funny, I don’t mean in the humorous sense, more like the sad and pathetic one. Whenever someone is just honest and blunt about what they think and feel, they’re deemed ‘mean,’ ‘too serious’ or ‘not fun.’

To me lying is something that causes physical anguish. When I lie it actually makes me feel nauseous, unless I’m ‘lying’ to have fun and ‘act’ out some skit or something I’m doing with friends while walking around.

Anyone that tries to rationalize a lie is just making excuses, and excuses are just lies in my opinion. Let’s lie about lying then. heh.

I do also like the fact that truly honest people tend to congregate; it makes it much easier to be a person that likes to tell the truth.

I’m so behind the times, I just now saw your new layout, it’s pretty badass.

What happened to blogging about the toilet-effect of flash mobs??

Or, the chili :D

None of the topics excited me very much either. I am thinking of doing something along the lines of the “10 Guilty Pleasures” idea. The others are too specific in their topics.

My suggestion is write what you want. If people don’t like it they can read elsewheres.
Pictures of pets usually help.
