Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave.... (8)

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive....



I will never understand adults who immerse themselves in tangled lies...does it not occur to people that whatever is done in the dark has a way of making it into the light???

My brutal honesty has cost me relationships, jobs and a multitude of other things...but at the end of the day i have retained my integrity...and isn't that worth it??

Anyone else out there found themself caught in a web of lies (whether it be of your own making or someone elses) and what did you learn from it?

I agree that honesty is the way to go. That way you don't have to remember all the stories you told either

My ex is a good example for the kids that lies do come out. Maybe not right away but it always does.

And this man doesn't want his child to believe in Santa because it is a lie..... pulllleeeaaaazzeee

I won't disagree with you on your definition of lie.

I don't believe for a moment that anyone, yourself included never lies by your definition.

You're absolutely right Gibs...and therefore I am "guilty" as you say by at some time or another lying by MY OWN definition....

However..when i "lie" and tell my children that the breakfast they made me was the best i've ever eaten..it may have been the worst thing i've eaten...according to my tastebuds...but to my heart...it was in fact the best i've ever eaten...
The same as a husband complimenting his wife...or a wife complimenting her husband...sure its done to spare feelings...but why do we try to spare feelings?...isn't it out of "love"??

The difference in my opinion is if that "lie" to spare feelings (as THEY put it) will eventually cause more hurt and grief down the road, why not just tell the truth now?...I guess that is what i was talking about...the lies that eventually catch up with you that a person may feel they can "justify" but in truth there is no justification for it

I suppose it comes down to ones judgement in the sense you're referring to.

We're all human, we're all far from perfect. We're all bound to make mistakes ... some seemingly endlessly.

3 posts, so I guess that's my .06

My heart, sensibilities and emotions were recently trashed by an habitual deceiver, a liar, someone who has lied to everyone who accepted her on face value. A person who has no "self". What have I learned ? That I will continue to trust and my integrity will be made even stronger. My word defines me, it is all I have. Paws
