The Truth or Lies

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

So maybe the problem is that there is more people pretending or fitting in than there is those that are faced with the reality of life. The only truth they know is to adjust to situations even if it means them changing there way of life. So who is telling the truth and who is lying? Because for each one of them in their own sense they are both right. The solution would be to stop trying to convince the other person that there way is the wrong way.

So here we have a society where some people are HIV+ in there world (my world) nothing has changed but if I tell that to people that are negative and some even positive will say I am lying. The truth is I am still the same me with a virus that can’t be cured. I have to adjust in respect of taking more care, being considerate so I don’t spread the disease other than that I am still old me.

Anybody with a terminal illness feel like they are displaced in society but I wonder what this really has to do with acceptable norms of society. Is society meant to be healthy for all its time on earth? Are our body not meant to exhaust at some point in what way it doesn’t matter I mean there people who kick the bucket far much early than those with an illness.

So if I take you for the person that you are why not take me for the person that I am with my change in circumstances. Listen to me and not what you are told by others about what someone with a terminal illness is going through. If you want to know the truth, talk to me and not believe your own truth to judge me.

We all leave a lie it just depends how many people along the way you have managed to convince that yours is the true lie. I can seat next to you in a pub and tell you my life story today omitting out the fact that I am HIV+ and you will believe it is the truth and invite me into your house. The simple truth is I have told myself for the day that is the truth and I have to make you believe me.

Reality is whatever set of lies you choose to believe so you tell me how many lies have you told today????

    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.
