Lies
-------------------------------------------------
Lying. An immoral ethic, yet if I told the world I have never lied who would believe me. We all lie now and then for various reasons. Either intentionally or simply on impulse. Despite our best intentions to never lie, more so to the ones we love, there are always going to be moments where close relationships do not work that way. Lying compensates for the unforgiving hurdles of imperfections, vulnerabilities and doubts. Factors that may hide in the long run of expectations held by complicated lasting relationships. All is well because essentially lying is a natural and necessary part of a good relationship.

The world we live in today is known to be the cyberage. With advanced technology, an obvious example would be the internet. The internet is now a reliable source of communication and interaction. Making it much easier for people to form relationships than ever before but it is also another outlet for effortless lying because there is no longer any need to control body language. Despite this leap of transformation, the expectations and needs of each individual for a partner or friend still remain perpetual. These indefinite wants usually include (but not limited to) someone who may be trustworthy, humorous, honest and attractive. This list of expectations does not usually include a good liar, does it? But there is always the inevitable moment when you simply do not want the honest ugly truth to be shoved in your face. Taking the ‘Do I look fat in these jeans?’ example from either a mate or a girlfriend. Rarely do they want a straightforward and brutal reply of something along the lines of ‘yes, of course/yes DUH!’ As Richard Needham once said “People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.” ~Richard J. Needham The truth supposedly ignites the crude linking
