The one in which I discuss lying
I am a liar. And sometimes I don't even know why. Why is it that my natural reaction to some things is to lie? Sometimes I do it when it doesn't even mean much work for me if I tell the truth. It's like it's my reflex to lie. My mom asks me a question and I lie before I can even think about it, and know the right answer. I just say the thing that would get me the least work, whether it's true or not. Many times I correct myself, I'll say, "Yes, I mean no. Sorry, I didn't understand the question." But sometimes I don't. And I know that's bad but I can't help but think that lying makes life so much easier. When you're truthful you have to do so much more to lve up to people's expectations. But when you lie, you can mold reality a little bit to make other people feel better. Make them believe that you met their expectations when you really didn't.
Of course, there's an obvious dark side to lying. When you get caught, you're even more screwed then if you had just told the truth and "done the tme." You usually have to do twice as much work. And you have to deal with the person whining about how you lied to them, and how they can't trust you. And all you want to do is say, "Shutup, okay, you're not worth telling the truth to."
This was a ridiculously vague entry.
