Truth

Why is the truth so elusive for some and so downright simple for others to say?
Many say it’s because some feel others are too weak to accept the truth and so they sugar coat it thinking I don’t want to hurt their feelings.

Come on… the world and people in general have been through so much to date and we are all getting tougher and learning how to accept the occasional inevitable.
Or is it fear of causing jealousy?
Perhaps being secretive is just a way to hide the actual real reason for doing something, oh and not saying something about something that should be told is just as good as lying in my book!
Whatever the reason people lie; it has always baffled me.
Since I personally have never been very good at doing it!
Oh sure, I tried like everyone else but when all was said and done I came clean and said what it was tried and true anyway, eventually…
How odd to know people that do it so well and to be related to such people like that and that is one thing I can’t take is when someone lies to me it makes me oh so sad.
It’s called ‘a dirty little lie’ for a reason, right?
And the worst of it is when it happens to you personally without knowing cause; it makes you unable to trust people sadly.
People who are related or are true friends deserve to be open and honest with one another, right?
Am I such a Pollyanna to want everyone to play nice?
Well, if not nice; honestly?
I suppose this topic during the holiday season is getting old fast.
But we all lie on occasion, but mostly to the wee ones, huh? (Wink)
You know what I mean, and that is harmless and quite gratifying to a point to see the smiles on the children’s faces when they believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny or what-have-you.
That’s more like telling a fantasy story though with all the characters involved in the occasion.
But sometimes I wonder with all those icons that man/woman created to represent those holidays wouldn’t it be more beneficial to just celebrate the religious aspects of them?
And say to the children that all those symbols of the holidays were created to make it have a fun side and to sell lotsa of things; which in reality we all know they were.
Shades of ‘Miracle on 34th Street’, there sorry folks!
But we all celebrate different holidays around the world which all have their symbols to represent different things other than the actual real reason we do celebrate them.

As silly as this must seem to many then must I beg to ask; why is lying a sin in so many religions?
All these good people who follow their all mighty man or woman or symbol have the desire to not speak the truth and probably lie daily.
Catholics go to confession to be forgiven and Jews cast their sins into the water during their high holy days… so I suppose the almighty has knowledge that we as human beings are imperfect, of course we are!
So why am I so judgmental I ask you?
Because it’s personal and my feelings are hurt the most when I find out that I have been lied to!
I guess this is CRAZY part TWO! LOL!
PS the liars were not living in this household and not our sons, although the culprits used our home for their hotel while they built theirs.
But other relatives that I believed were telling me the truth.

I hear you all saying…GROW UP!
This is the way of the world, people lie, get over it…!
I know I will but it is still raw because it is only a few days old.
Another good thing is as human beings we are all resilient!
Me being one of those who forgives and forgets, but some hold grudges I have never ever done that.
I have renewed friendships over weird horrible hurts, but some people aren’t willing to forgive.
Forgiving may be the hardest thing for some to do but not for me.
The hard part is when the other party or parties doesn’t want to come half of the way to meet up for the forgiveness. Then it cannot work, and some people are like that I have sadly found in this life span that is way too short to not forgive, got that?

On this still not funny blog tonight I will stop once again, but boy it sure feels good to release some of those feelings and perhaps get some feedback from any of you?
Since I am sure many have been lied to and were not very happy about it when you found out and I wonder how you handled it?

On that sharing the thought comment I would like to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

Please be here or be square tomorrow night, OK?

PS the new medication has me feeling much better now!
