Lies.

Lies, do we really need to hear them or are they just mindless repetitive speech?

Do we really know that we are telling lies, do we tell them at the heat of the moment to maybe make a conversation more interesting, or to make yourself sound like something you're not? The thing is, do we actually need to tell lies, or are just doing them as we can?

I tell lies myself, who doesn't? There are moments to me where I told lies and it has saved me from a large amount of trouble but there are also times when I have told lies and they haven't made any difference to me whatsoever, on the other hand I have told lies that have hurt people out of anger - who hasn't? 99 percent of the time I regret telling lies as at the end of it, if you tell the truth in the first place, in the long run you have saved yourself from a lot of trouble.

I was listening to the Paloma Faith song 'Do you want the truth or something beautiful?' and this song inspired me actually to write this blog, that some people tell lies as the other side of the story is horrible and the truth hurts, unlike lies which can be beautiful and which can save us from a lot of pain. Yes the truth hurts, but surely doesn't everything hurt in some way? In the future if the truth is let out it will hurt even more and you are then deceiving that person even more and you are losing their trust in you.

So really should we have to tell lies to see something beautiful, do we have to change the situation so it's deceiving just to make yourself seem better? Not all lies can stop, as some can save us... But have we all thought about 'in the long run'...
