Lie

Have you ever lied ?

Ok, I'm totally asking a stupid question. Of course you have.

Well, lying used to be such a big deal to me, as I was brought up as a Christian. Back when I was an innocent, little girl.

It was like, God will punish you if you lie. You will go to hell after you die and sorts.

But now, I think I lie every now and then. Usually, my lies are white lies and sometimes I lie because the truth seems too absurd or stupid. Occasionally, I lie because I had to hide my true intentions.

Ah, the complexities of adulthood.

However, I'm not a good liar. I can never lie with a straight face. And normally, I would avoid eye contact. There, dummies on 'How to tell when Moonie is lying'.

I guess there is some justification to the principle of 'not to lie'. It kinda hurts when the truth leaks out. Of course from the perspective of the person being lied to. I couldn't understand why people could not be truthful to me.

Maybe I should learn to respect other's privacy.

How about white lies ? What would you say to a plump girl who asked you whether she looks fat ?

Honesty has its price.
