lies. they surround us everywhere, every moment. for example the baker when he wishes a "good morning" with a smile, but his cat just died that day. the sausage in the grocery store that claims to be from a well known farmer, but instead is made from super skinny cows forced to live under inhuman cruel conditions. the new miss america praying for world peace but rather be thinking about this new amazing armani dress. so for now i am eating a frozen yogurt which is pretending to be with christmas flavor that is exactly.. well i'll stop here, because i really want to eat it no matter what it is! - actually i might lie to myself while i am typing this. it's just a very very tiny possibility that i am doing it for sure, not that i'd lie often or even usually. well i hardly lie ever. okay i confess - this really was a lie. i guess everybody has to lie from time to time - there are those situations they obviously scream after lies. for example your friend who asks you if these super awesome shoes she just bought suit as super awesome as she just thought. they're ugly. pretty ugly. so than what? tell her the truth and make her feel uncomfortable wearing them or even stop wearing them at all? i'd prefer not being asked at all - thanks for that. and what to answer a teacher who wants to know why the hell you haven't been in sport classes for 6 weeks now?! the truth, which means OMFG i'm no jock, never will be one and i am definitely NOT trying to take part in the olympics or even some random dancing marathon whatever ... stupid needless dumb school sport i hate hate hate the person that invented you and considered you as useful! i'm sure he'd appreciate to hear that. who wouldn't?! it's just like telling a milka chocolate that there's nothing worse in the world than cacao - you'd destroy its soul completely! and than there are those lies that we use to save ourselves. these ones, that give us hope and sometimes strength to carry on. these ones, we want to believe so badly that we would even believe them if an alien would be part of it. there are just a few persons who are able to turn yourself into this extremely naive muser - but they're real masters in this case. so all you know in the end is that you don't know nothing and not at least a little part of what happened exactly, but it's alright and you're still aware of what to do - keep on trusting.
N.
so true. everybody lies !
AntwortenLöschenthe best example is the one with the shoes. i would tell her something like : i don't really like them but they fit you very well. So i don't have to lie and she would still be wearing them if she likes them ;)
