The Truth or Lies

So what really counts as the truth or lies to you?

To be honest there isn’t any difference because its all in your head you only believe what you want to believe, hear what you want to hear, see only what you want to see, sound familiar, well it doesn’t only apply to women though they are the master of the art.

So basically there is a society that dictates what is sane and insane, but not everyone conforms in the same manner hence the telling them apart. A person who we deem to be “insane” accepts a different set of truths than the multitude does.  Do you think that that actually makes them any less right in the manner that they conduct themselves?

Most people believe everything that society tells them is the norm and call themselves sane but are they really? Because there is the next person who will say there way is the right way.

Here is how a lie becomes a truth, one day you tell yourself a small convincing story about the world around you, the next day you will have to justify it. And so a chain or web of lies or truths is formed all it will take is some other person to tell another story in their favor to convince you otherwise, so at the end of the day it depends on who has the strong will to hang on to their story.

But society has programmed and conditioned us in a certain way that we should accept what popular belief dictates to us. At the end of the day we really do not have free choice because we have to abide by the rules that govern us otherwise we are said to be telling lies.

Ok so lets look at another example, the world economy doing the rounds up and down day in day out. I tell myself this is normal at times like this because we are going through change. But of course not everyone will think that they would rather believe some conspiracy going on.

Maybe the question then should be what is reality? is it what we tell our selves is true? I personally think it is because the only reality to me will be what I know to be true. If my reality is leaving in poverty then the only truth that I know is what poverty has offered me and that should not make me different or a liar. If I tell you that life is all about poverty am I lying? You would probably say yes but that would be the only truth I know.

    I do tell the truth because lies have a habit of getting you found out, so i tell the truth, only now and again do i tell a white lie if its for the benefit of a person, or a surprise is in store for them. I used to have a couple of friends in the past, they told lies and when they were found out, instead of admitting defeat they carried on lieing, another mixed her lies in with the truth she never knew which was a lie or the truth so she convinced herself what she was saying was the truth.Thanks for sharing this with us.
