~Lies~ This is not about them.

My friend Lila wrote a very interesting blog post awhile back, on a topic I could never elaborate on. Check her blog out here! ➪ http://silverbonesandgoldenstars.blogspot.com/
The post is based from the book, We Are Broken, and Lila takes the quite a lot of time talking about lies. I, for one, can't say much about lies. I can say that they are bad and untruthful. To help me think more about lies and lying, Lila left us some questions.

When you have to lie to someone like that, when do you stop? Does someone make you do it? Or does the other person find out first? Why do you tell the truth? Why don't you?

I think that to show you care for someone, you have to tell the truth, always. Once you begin to lie, you can't stop. Many people say "I lie to you because I need to protect you from the truth." I disagree. You need to tell everyone, especially the person you really care about, all honesty. Does "all honest" make sense?? Doing this and staying by their side shows how much really you cherish and care for them. It's like saying "Forever I will stay with you, through the good and the bad. You know why? Because I love you, and I have to go through the same crap you do." Saying this reminds me, once again, about the Fruits Basket quote I love so much. "Repeat the good... and the bad. Do it all... and pile on the years."

Also, once you start to lie, it's hard to stop. It may be something imaginative from your world of creativity - I'm trying to come up with a clever way to say "the human mind"- that you must say, but don't feel like making up a whole story because it's annoying and lame. OWN EXPERIENCE...

I think the word "lies" may as well begin capitalized, as is "God" and "He" when directed towards God. Then again, many words should be, they mean so much. But, is "God" his name? A title? It's the same with "His Royal Highness". Does this mean he's up towards God? Off topic, something to look into...

This also reminds me of BIGBANG's song, Lies. ➪ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cv3phvP8Ro&feature=relmfu

The first few lines are

Yeah... Love is pain
Dedicated to my Brokenhearted People
One's old a flame... Yes, Scream my name...

I like how he says "Dedicated to my Brokenhearted People". It seems like in the song he's saying lies break love. Another reason to tell the truth? Yet, at the moment, I don't understand "One's old a flame"... I will have to search into that meaning...

I haven't read this book. It seems like something I may read, yet, I'm not sure why I say this. I suppose, often, I read books recommended by friends?

Well, before I end this post, let me ask you. What do you think about lies? Do you agree or disagree with my theories? Why? Ooh this is making me sound all high-and-mighty...

I wish to hear from you!
