Today In History.
February 27th 1980 (Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF wins elections in Zimbabwe) 1981- (Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder Record Ebony & Ivory) 1992- (Tiger Woods, 16, becomes youngest PGA golfer in 35 years).
Is there anything like being truthful? I doubt that, we either lie to ourselves or l lie to someone. I decided to find out if anyone feels they have been completely honest in a space of time. Everyone I asked around me came up with 'Ermmmmm' as their first words, which I see as giving the brain a minute or two to process the situation and outcome of being totally truthful or just completely inventing another lie. I think we are programmed to lie, either to be nice/ protect the feelings of someone or evade the 'questions' about our flaws. I can't be completely truthful, I know I can't. A little white lie and those big lies (that needs constant thinking to cover your tracks) I have told it all. As a Sagittarius, who is perceived to be blunt and straight forward it's just not in me.
Don't get me wrong, I am blunt and straight forward (iThink). But my own problem (and a whole lot if people) is dwelling in it, not as to say I keep lying. But when I do tell a lie, I can feel its claws on my skin. I'd keep pondering if I could have done things differently. It eventually gets to a point when I use it as a basis to analyze all my past mistakes. A lot of questions get stuck in my head, jumbled up, and then it starts to weigh me down. Sometimes I want to be completely honest, but then again I start to wonder 'who wants to hear the complete truth anyways? Would life be easier if there wasn't the invention of lying? Do people want to know if they are really fat, stupid, ugly or completely redundant? Do we want to be truthful and then tagged as being rude? I completely doubt that. My little brother said one day after I had found out about the string of lies he had been feeding me 'A little lie makes the world go round'. Does that make any sense? Is he right? For a child who is just 13 to have such a response to life, is that a good thing or evidence that our world is degrading into a mist of insanity. I still can't answer any of these questions.
All I can say is, right now with the way I look at my life and my mistakes; I can't say I won't tell a lie here and there. But all I want to live by is SIMPLICITY; the idea is being simple in my mind to avoid less complication. I want to be free; everyone wants to be free of all their burdens. To me, this is just my first step into a life of complete and utter freedom. Anyways have a beautiful day.
Aimer!
