As it stands, our closest relationships invlove a lot of truth telling and lying. Truth is hard to accept and so are lies. What makes a person bend a certain fact, a fact that might not even matter. However, the lying definitely matters. It can ruin a relationship and the mutual trust, giving room for suspicion and doubt to spring.
It drives me crazy sometimes to think about how deception is creeping into our lives. How shallow statements like 'I would never lie to you' have become. There are times when you want to confront people with their lies, its not the truth that you want to know, but why the person lied about something so trivial. What people do is continue covering up, repeating the same lie even when the truth is all there staring in your face.
The person who shares his/her deepest thoughts, darkest secrets, random nitty-gritties of the day, is the same person who also lies to you about stupid things that do not matter. You happen to come to terms with a lie, and bang there is one more put accross your path.
Will the truths of today become lies of tomorrow? How many times can one forget or forgive? Why lie, when telling the truth will be accepted? Are some of us leading dual lives?
