The Lying Game

Have you ever thought about why we lie? Why we lie to not only others, but also to ourselves? A very wise Meredith Grey once said, "We lie because the truth...the truth freaking hurts."

I think we lie to protect ourselves or to protect others. Perfect example:

I have a friend who has had her heartbroken recently. I'm also friends with the boy that broke her heart.When I hear things about what he's doing now or who he's dating, I'm always torn. Do I tell her about it? Or do I wait until she finds out on her own? Either way, she's going to be hurt.

We all say we would rather the person just tell us. Because that would make it better, right? But no matter where the news comes from its still going to suck.

 

Maybe, things really would be easier if our noses grew when we told a lie.
