Lies

[Inika]

falling leaves, with all due respect, you sound defensive and im almost close to seeing you support and defend liars. is it a personal trigger? No need to answer.

EOTR yeah. and its funny you mention that. an opportunity has come by from the past. im cautious, is this a wash rinse repeat? or is it his turn to turn the table to walk away. I left him due to suspicion of a new to the work team colleague who seemed too super friendly toward my guy. We had no problems in our relationship. in fact, it was so comfortable it got boring. i figured i didnt love him enough anyway to put up with some hussy hanging around trying to get his attention. I left before i could get stung with a major hurt. a year later i met my now ex husband who did what i did to my ex before him. He constanlly was suspicious, he always thought other men may take my interest. and it only dawned on me last night. i got served what i served and understood the accusation toward someone innocent, not doing what is accused of them. I dont want to repeat something. i deliberately avoid relationships until I GET IT. what im missing. the clue, the purpose, the point.

Thanks Breeze. I enjoy my banters with ng. he's a cool cat.

Thread title Had me thinking of the movie Closer (2004)

No relation to the original content, but it inspired the Panic of the Disco song.

1. To avoid trouble, to avoid something.

Example 1.

Bob: "Hey did you pick up my cousin like you said you would?"

Ben: "Ugh, yea of course"

Bob: "Then where is she?"

Ben: "Oh, ugh well i picked her up then she said she wants to walk half way because, you know site seeing an all that"

Bob: "She just text me and said you never picked her up"

Ben:

Example 2.

Bob: "Hey im going to the movies today do you wan't to come with me?"

Ben: "Oh gee that sounds so fantastic but.. ugh you know what iv got this thing i need to do.. so i really can't"

Bob: "Whats that thing you have to do?"

Ben: "Oh it's a thing... just a thing, so yea got things to do....something"

Bob:

2. To boast, to make something into something it wasn't.

Ben: "Man! should have seen it! before this big dog tried attack me but i scared it away, no one messes with me!"

Bob: "I did see it i was watching from across the road you ran for your life"

Ben: "What ever man... i don't care what you say"

3. To get something they want, to make people do something they want.

Example 1.

Ben: "So someone i know is going to give me a ferrari soon for free but i don't really want it"

Bob: "Woah! can i have it? i always thought they were awesome!"

Ben: "Yea sure i don't see why not, how about you buy me that new laptop i wanted an we'll call it even"

Bob: "Of course, no problem"

(Bob never gets ferrari)

Example 2.

Ben: "Hey can you drive me to the airport, it's really important i get there fast i think i may miss my flight, ill pay for fuel though"

Bob: "Yeah sure buddy, as long as your paying for the car fuel"

Ben: (Opens wallet, sees money inside) "Oh man im sorry i have no money actually i didn't realise, don't worry about it i'll just walk"

Bob: "You'll never make it in time! c'mon i'll still take you"

Ben:

4. To cause issues, to manipulate situations.

Ben: "You know Wendy? yea well today i saw her an she said your a jerk"

Bob: "What do you mean, she was with me all day today, we didn't see you"

Ben:

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....rofl.

Liars and flaky people are filth, but then there's no person who doesn't lie and it sucks. I recall how in my younghood I wished that human ability to lie would be collectively drugged away so social games would cease to exist and I would never have to participate those games just to have some basic social contact with my peers. :'D Same would be about spreading falsehoods when you're really trying to learn something new. Pathological liars will always be filth on steroids (in my opinion), even if their abilities would be useful.

Sometimes I wondered where's the (blurry?) line between constructive use of imagination and lying to yourself, which becomes self-destructive lying at worst... I could often tell that about myself by looking within but not about others which sucks, never truly know when they lie intentionally to me and when they're just deluding themselves and therefore end up lying to me too. I dislike excuses though, so perhaps I'll have to dismiss too much depth and just live with thinking it doesn't change their actions.
