So, I have come in contact with many people that are liars. Its interesting to me that these people do not even notice themselves lying or aware of the fact they are lying. But then I guess that is the nature of a human being. Believing in something so much that they believe that it is true. The way that battered women still love their abusive husbands, how people lie about their relationships saying "everything is wonderful" when it really isn't. Why do people lie?
If and when I lie, it is to cover up something I did wrong, to hide this mistake, or hide a lie of a previous mistake until I am finally found out and there is no need to lie because everyone knows the truth.
People lie to make themselves seem better than they are: lie about how they got that bruise, lie about what is really going on in their life, saying everything is great, with the characteristic high pitched ending that gives away a liar. Sometimes it is a selfish thing, bragging in a way about something that they do not have.
Then there are the liars that lie to make their world better, by not telling their friends everything, to not burden them, to make them not seen as broken or torn apart. Lies to protect certain people, like when a mother tells their young child that their father died rather than tell them the truth that he left them or is in prison.
Then there are the liars that lie to hurt people. My only knowledge of these type, as far as I know, they do not know that they are actually hurting people. They think they are lying for the better, but in the end, their lies just hurt more than they can help. I guess that is almost all types of lying.
The reason I am talking about lying is because of a once friends' status on Facebook. For the sake of his rights to privacy, I will not say his name. "______ is BLACK!!!!!!!!! and is loving it and cant stand people who think i lie too them when im not!" He is actually talking to me, and instead of talking to me about it, he put this up on his Facebook for all the world to see. I understand that I did it to, but it was not geared at any specific person, it was just saying how I felt at the time. I said that I "am broken. Does that make you people happy?" I understand that this was rather harsh, but it is how I felt at the time, that I was being attacked on a personal level. The only thing I have to say to everyone of my friends, and I mean all of them, God bless all of your lives. I really do hope that He will do this, listen to my prayer, and bless all of you.
