a time to relax and more on lies

June 7, 2002 at 1:28 pm · Filed under Rigamarole

I’m going to be leaving the state for a few days. It’ll be nice, I think, a time to relax, spend time with john, meet up with my 702 buddies and get away from here. It feels like forever since I’ve been somewhere besides San Jose or Irvine.

Additionally, I posted this in response to paul‘s post about lying.

It’s true that everybody does make a decision when they decide to lie. The second before you open your mouth to say something, a truth or a lie, there’s always that thought ‘should i say this?’ and ‘why am i saying this?’.

Admittedly, lying to manipulate and hurt others is bad. However, using the truth to manipulate people and hurt others is almost as bad… and in my personal opinion, worse than using a lie in order to try to keep things together, keep things from falling apart.

Both lies and truths can be used in malicious ways depending on how you use them. The same goes for using them for good ways.

Subject:Listen/Hear

Well,
At first,i haven’t spoken neither wrote in english for a couple of year so try, just once.

Do you Have a "concienceness" (lost my dictionnary)of what you say ?.I mean can you hear what you mean by language expression?

For my part, it’s a "rare" thing when i can be understood. Always miss interpretation ..i think that words have different meanings/persons. (et viva l’esperanto!)Must be a lot of work till there. Too young probably.

But i’m running in and running in and running away..;).

So What i’d like to say about you topic:keeping is mouth closed is (to my way)that you may have 2 motivations:
1/with compassion to the other; motivation=NOT HURT)
or 2// with a little demon upon your shoulder; motiv=SECRET LAUTH.)

I’m only 23 and may still "naîve" (hope for a long time) and to my way you just can’t lye completely your reason or "volontée" just can’t stand such a thing (can’t imagine it).

Of course you can tell a lye…But play it completely requires to have a great power toward the person in front of you and a voice whith no re(a)sonnance…..

Hope you’re classified in the unable.

Kisses
Hérisson

This is where i disagree.

The truth is always better in my opinion. Half-truths meant to distract and manipulate– that’s bad.

But the full truth…if it somehow makes you look bad…then you probably did something wrong. if you are lying to "keep things together, keep things from falling apart.", that’s a selfish form of lying that benefits you.

if it hurts others while you are doing it, that’s even worse.

oh yea, be honest about what you really think of people. Dont act like a complete airhead dumbass and call people smart, then go trying to fix your problems by saying what you really think about them behind their backs. Damn you are a good liar. *high five*
