I guess we gotta differentiate between personal lies and lies where folks get hurt.
Years ago there was a contractor who certified he had installed a new sprinkler system in a school as he had been paid to do. Only when the fire happened did we learn he had actually installed only the sprinkler heads and pocketed the money earmarked for the pipes between the sprinkler heads. That afternoon when I left the hospital where some of the children had been taken, I was very unhappy that man was nowhere in sight.
In response to: How do you react when you've realise you've been lied to?
Whether it's a white lie or not. Do you confront them? Do you forgive them, knowing we are only human and we all make mistakes? Do you discontinue the relationship?
A lot of people are living a lie all day ... So depending on their or the importance to Me I'll bring it up or let it go. Some things just aren't worth the aggravation of making someone aware of what they're doing.
mjpd67: And its a public thread and if i write something dont take it to heart ,its a big bad world out there now dry your tears and have a happy life
Hahahahaaha! OMG! Don't flatter yourself. You have made me neither sad or mad. I obviously realise it's a public forum and I wouldn't have posted the thread if I didn't want answers, in turn, I should be able to respond with an honest answer or opinion. So maybe it is you who should put on your big boy underpants and take it like a grown-up! Again, no offense, just sayin. Besides, I'm not trying to make enemies, let's just move on and enjoy the threads.

at this stage, goodbye - discontinue the relationship. no time for lies. any kind !
It is much better to be hurt with the truth than to be deceived with a lie.A very smart lady often says,"If you tell the truth you don't need to have a good memory." I just simply do not allow myself the need to be around people who lie.
