I have to admit, at times I said things that would hurt the feeling of other peoples.
But if my honesty hurt you, do tell me. Then I will comfort you with lies.
P/S: I'm getting better at lying after watching the movie The Invention of Lying.
After the incident at the class representative meeting, I cannot help but to think that honesty wasn't really a good thing. Well, the movie The Invention of Lying made me further question my bluntness as some people seemed to be happier when they are being told of lies.
In one scene, the public cheered as the main character of the movie, Mark lied to them about the existence of God, heaven and hell. The lies Mark told put people in peace as people could now blame God for all of their own mistakes and problems. It seemed to me that humans just would not accept their faults and problems as part of their own doings but rather put the blame on a non-existent man-in-the-sky.
I am sad, not because the people around me do appreciate what I do, but because these people were not sincere and honest towards me.
Everybody Lies.

ReplyDeleteIt's better that you learn how to extract the truth from people than to continue wishing for that miracle.
