Lying

All of us lied. We all lie. I swear... I'm not against lying but one thing is for sure, I can't stand lying to myself...

All of us lie countless of times to ourselves everyday.

You often find you telling yourself, "O.o, now is 11.00! The lesson is gonna end 30 minutes! " Truth is, the lesson only started for 15 minutes...

You hate to know the cold hard truth that your torturing Chinese lesson has only lasted 15 for minutes and you still have 30 more minutes of hell. You know it, life is great but reality is harsh. Many things in life ain't the way we wanted it to be. The solution? We lie. We lie to people, we lie to our friends, we lie.. to ourselves unconsciously as well...


When the cold hard truth come smashing into your face, you are tempted to dodge it. And you lie to yourself.

You confess to a girl. She gave you an uncertain answer. Half yes, half no. You go back home and started thinking, so yes or no? Maybe in your heart you long already knew the answer, you saw the way she shrugged away when you sat closer to her. You saw her fake smile when you greeted her. You know it, she doesn't like you. But you wanted to avoid the cold hard truth from smashing straight into your face. SO, you lie, to yourself. You tell yourself, O.o maybe she is impressed with my confession. Maybe the 50-50, might just end up the way I wanted it to be.


Ryan may be saying that he is not short, he says that he had late puberty, that's all. Truth is, right now, at this point of time, he IS short. The truth lies right in front of him but he chooses to ignore it. ( That did not happen btw, just using it as an eg. He admitted his short. Good one!)


Cowardliness. That is what I my view of people that like to avoid facing the truth. This people are just to timid to face the harsh reality. Many times in life, everything around us is great. We all lead great lives, living in comfort. So comfortable, that one day when the cold hard reality comes crushing on you, all you did was to hide under the blanket of yours.

Take it in your stride. Take the blows from the cold and harsh truth that is placed in front of you. There is no way to avoid it, you only trying to delay it.

That is great difference between being positive and lying to yourself. Being positive is being open-minded, carefree when you did not know what the result is. Lying to yourself is you trying to be positive when you already knew the answer.

You can be positive before you get your test result but once you realise that you failed, if you are still smiling and jumping around, telling yourself that the test was hard, wasn't really your fault, that's lying to yourself.

Learn to accept the inevitable cold and hard truth even if you might not like it. Nobody likes it anw.

"Only by learning to accept, then can you learn. lLearn something that you will never learn if you choose to avoid the truth."

Life is great, reality is harsh. We all know it. Now, learn to accept it.
