Lying About The Truth

another day... rainy, sunny, cloudy... it makes no difference anymore... it's just time slipping away... feelings, motives, explanations, over and over again, all coming down to nothing at all.

I know I've had better times... and I know I can make things change, but where do you find the strength to change when you are alone? or when you feel alone, for what's worth...

why do we lie?? why is truth so terrible that it actually forces us to lie?? it pushes us, and when we least expect it... there... another lie... and then, when you want to put an end to so many lies, you realize it's a long chain of lies and that you can't escape....

we lie coz we are scared of the truth,
coz we think that if we dun say what's really happening, then it wont come back on us
coz truth hurts, no matter what ppl say
coz we are used to it
coz we dun want to hurt ourselves
coz we dun want to hurt others
coz we want to keep certain things secret

and yet we always say lies are bad, and even when we claim that we are lying... lies are like placebos... they are not that bad... we wouldn't stand life just as it is unless we lied a little everyday...

so here's the truth about the truth: it hurts, so... we lie...

    li'l white lies are okay i guess, no? we all lie almost everyday and as long as they're harmless and do not cause damage to ourselves and other people, then it's alright. but it's still best not to lie... have a good day ahead!

    I think we lie because we are afraid others will see us for who we are. We are afraid that others will see the truth about us. We hide behind our lies, but the problem is that we have to keep up with all those little lies forever...and then we reveal who we really are after we can't remember all the lies we told.
