Lying must
be the number one thing that I hate the most! It is destructive and ends a lifetime
of trust. I just don’t understand why people lie? I have a saying “Everything
comes out” and trust me, it does! I would rather hear the truth no matter how
much it hurts or kills me because you can work through it and you still trust
that person. Is that not the most important thing to have in any relationship? Trust?
Whether it’s your boyfriend, girlfriend, dad, sister, best friend, trust is
key.
I have
experienced first-hand that everything comes out. Yes, obviously I have lied in
the past, to my parents, friends, sister etc. (and it came out) but it’s how
you learn from those mistakes that really counts. If you carry on lying, then there’s
a problem.
Most of us
probably lie to loved ones because we feel that we are protecting them. Yes,
that could be the situation as I have learned but it’s how far you take it that
is the problem.
It is pretty
clear that I have very strong feelings
about lying because I have been lied to endless times by loved ones and it has
damaged my relationships with them. Is it worth it? I don’t think so. You might
have different opinions to me and that’s fine, but never forget that it
destroys the bond you have with the other person you love and I don’t think
that is a risk I will ever be willing to take.
Well done!! I could not have said it better myself. Love this piece and your choice of imagery.
ReplyDeleteI once lied to my mum when I was in grade 10 and told her I was going to see a movie when I actually went to a bar with friends. Long story short, I was caught out and took such a long time to gain back her trust. Definately wasn't worth it for a few hours at a smokey bar :(
ReplyDeleteI have underrated trust in my past, hoping its taught me a lesson or two by now...
