What is it about lying that is so damn attractive to people? I know the urge to lie is buried deep down in the human psyche and stems from a basic human need to survive but why do some feel the need to spew them more than others? I have told my fair share of lies in the past and in doing so I literally went nowhere fast and ruined many things in the process, so much was lost in fact that I have since sworn to never lie again beyond whether Santa is real or how much time I spend playing/watching video games. This urge to be truthful was not easy to come by, mind you, and probably would not exist had I not screwed my life up initially so I can see how it would be hard for some to "kick" the habit.
I seriously have come across people in my life as of late that lie about the most random pointless things. They sit there and spout their false information while expecting you to swallow it and ask for more, this kind of shit annoys me endlessly and I have decided to not even bother with those folks anymore. I want to surround myself with truthful human beings whom I can trust and truly care for, no easy feat when the world is filled with selfish asshats.
Deciding to not lie is a huge life change for some and it can hurt, but only at first, like a band aid being pulled off your frontal lobe. It only gets easier with time though and you will be amazed at how much weight you remove from your metaphorical shoulders by not having to tiptoe over what is true and what is fabricated in your life.
In closing I want to thank those that make an effort to tell the truth, to be who they really are, and to care with all their heart about whatever it is they care for. Life is too short to deal with anything less than genuine feelings.
