Freewrite - I believe all people lie


I think that House was right, all people lie.  I don’t think they want to but it just happens.  We all do it even when we should tell the truth.  Like when a doctor asked personal questions about health history we lie.  We lie about how much we eat, drink, or even if we have ever done drugs.  So if we lie to people who are only there to help us of course we are going to lie to the people we love too.  I know I lie.  I don’t want to sometimes but it’s just easier to tell someone your fine then go into details about how hard your life is.  Most of the time they are only asking for polite conversation not that they really care how you are doing.  Omission is still a lie.  Some people like to feel better about themselves because they feel not telling the truth or partially telling the truth is still okay.  Kinda goes back to the doctor scenario.  Sure doc I have a drink every once in a while, in truth that person may not be able to get out of bed in the morning without a drink.  Testing doesn’t lie.  That person’s liver could be failing and saying they don’t have a problem doesn’t take away the truth.  I can handle some lies from people I love.  It’s the lies that they can’t even look me in the eyes and get away with.  I know I would like to say I’m strong enough to call people on their bullshit but sometimes in moments of weakness I let them lie.  Sometimes I needed to believe there lies to make it through the day.  Sad but true.  Lies hurt people.  I would hope that most people wouldn’t want to cause that much pain to another person.  It’s the sociopaths that just don’t care about others that are scary.  I know a child like that.  Not mine thank god.  But I feel sorry for this little girl who doesn’t care about anyone she hurts to get what she wants.  It would make a nun swear and make the sign of the cross.
