Not Dead/Lies

Okay, okay, fans. I'm terribly sorry for the unbearable lack of interesting (as some of you have said) posts. But, yeah. You all should know by now that I don't post about my pathetic life like this:
"Today woke up at 7.30. Haizz.. So sleepy. Slept at 2am++ last night and.."

Yeah, I don't like to post like that. For the simple reasons that if I post like that...
(1) My posts will probably be two paragraphs long.
(2) This blog will be the same as all the other blogs, and I simply do NOT like that.
(3) You guys won't see how much of a deep thinker I am.
(4) You people will be bored forever.

So, yeah.

I like to post stuff like this.

Lies

Okay, this will not be some kinda emo post about how people lie and shit like that. It'll be about me and lying.

This is regarding what happened just now. I told my parents I was gonna be at TM when I went to Cineleisure instead. My mom called me and asked me to meet her at Isetan, because she was there at TM. So, well, busted. I had to tell her the truth.

And that's what I did.

After watching Material Girls (which wasn't so good), I immediately went home and got lectured.

I felt seriously guilty for lying. And well, yeah. I got grounded for the whole of the holidays. And please note that I was the one who suggested the punishment.

The point I'm trying to make here is that lying may get you away from something for a while. It's just temporary. The truth will, be it accidentally or somehow, be revealed. And then the consequences will be, well, as you can see from my example, sucky.

But I perfectly deserved this punishment.

So, in a relationship, a friendship, or whatever other shit, lying is not a fucking option. Because trust (especially in a relationship) is most crucial. And if one party lies, that party is betraying or abusing the trust of the other party or parties. You will lose their trust.

And then they'll start to doubt everything you say, because no matter how convincing you are, because you've lied to them before, there will be a niggling sensation in the back of their minds.

"Is he or she telling the truth this time?"
"Is he or she lying to me again?"

White lies are still lies. They will be found out and the outcome may be worse than telling the truth in the first place.

Don't lie to yourself either. You may think, "I lied so that he or she won't get hurt. It was the right thing to do". Because it's not, and I repeat, NOT the right thing to do. Here's an example.

Let's say this guy loves this girl. The girl doesn't love the guy but she doesn't wanna hurt him, so she 'lies' by pretending to love him. Sooner or later, she will start either getting tired of living a lie and so she tells him. This guy will hurt. He will hurt like shit. Beyond shit. He'll fucking hurt.

But, he could've been saved from the pain by replacing it with a lesser pain. If the girl told him she didn't love him in the first place, there would be no doubt that the guy will hurt, but at least he'll get hurt less.

So, yeah. I hope this got you thinking, and that those liars will make a change for the better, and that includes me.
