The New Year. It should bring you fun stories and such likes from all the different walks of life, but the truth is, life isn’t that nice. I’ll tell you why shortly, but before I descend into my ranting state let me assure you my readers that this is not a personal attack on any of you. Yet, sadly this is might just be a anti-girl rant. (As always; may be I need to pick up a different topic to rant on, sometimes.)
My question to all the ladies out there, is why do sometimes people find is compelling to lie. Specially when they know (or should realize) that they have an upper hand. I used to lie a lot when I was a kid, mainly to portray myself as a cooler kid that I actually was. But then I started catching other kids doing the same and suddenly it wasn’t cool anymore. It was just cooler to just be me. A kid in 4th grade once called me selfish. He was positive that I had a lot of things that I don’t share with anyone. If he only knew that my toys were all over 6 years old by then. Granted there were a few things here and there that were newer, but it wasn’t like a new RC car or something else I could show off.
At this age however, lying to someone is just not to be cooler. May be it was in college, but not any more. I mean there are so many things to feel better about. So why lie? I guess when we are threatened by someone or our jealousy rises we lie, but what about times when there is no reason for either? There is nothing to protect with those lies? Why not just have to guts to do what it takes? It’s hard, I know. But at least I’d respect that person more.
Meh, people and their personalities.
