We lie in little ways every single day. We lie to ourselves about little things. We lie to the people we love to spare their feelings or because we're not brave enough to tell the whole truth. We lie to the people we work with. We lie even in our body language.
Honesty. Is it really the best policy?
Or are we fooling ourselves. Can you honestly tell your boss to go fuck themselves when they've said something distasteful or mean? Can you really tell your gf that she looks fat to you? Can you tell your spouse that it's ok to cheat on them because you still love them?
I try to in everything I do to be honest, but sometimes the little white lie is easier to accept and deal with and say than the truth. It's a sad truth. That's messed up.
Telling the people that we love THAT we love them. Going out on a limb for a friend when you don't necessarily have to talk. Telling someone who has power over you when they are wrong.
