I sit here most nights and look at people I know. Look at how often people lie, cheat, steal; it's just their lifestyle. The world has gotten to the point where those are the things that keep society moving. Everything is done for one's own personal gain. The person who invented the wheel did it to make life easier for himself, just as Average Joe Blow steals from his own job to sell things to his boss. He does it to make money because he's underpaid, the boss underpays him because the boss wants the money for himself.
Lies are everywhere you look. Some people tend to think that you have to tell someone something that isn't true to be considered a lie. I find it extends beyond that simple description. If someone say, smokes cigarettes, and does it without you knowing, and you find out when that person didn't want you to, then I consider hiding facts to be no different than lying. Why? I only hid it because I didn't want you to be mad! That's still no good. By hiding your true personality and what makes you you, other people are fooled into thinking you're what you appear to be to them. Your actions lie for you in that case.
So much lying in the world is why I just don't understand relationships. People aren't happy with their significant other, but instead of being honest and saying "babe, I'm not happy", the simple solution for ones own personal gain is to cheat. I could never do such a thing, I'd rather just straight up say "this isn't working out." And be done with it. Worse even is when someone leaves the girl for another girl, but then still tells girl 1 that she's the one and he doesn't want to lose her, and then sleeps with her behind his new girlfriend's back. It baffles me, why even leave the girl in the first place if you're just going to keep being with her behind your new lover's back? I guess we just want to have our cake and eat it too.
Perhaps it's just no matter how much you feel a connection to that one person, that person themselves just does nothing but hurt you. Whether its physical or mental, the one we hold dear to us always seems to hurt the most, and that one is just as untrustworthy as a stranger on the street. Perhaps that one who you know you would drop ANYTHING for at any given moment, actually talks about you to all her friends and you hear nothing but negative things about yourself from said friends, and even things about you that aren't even true. That person still means the world to you through all the bad, but how much can you really trust them when they want nothing to do with you until they need a favor? Just because they know that if they ask you, you'll go all out to help them, just so they can walk all over you after they get what they want. And through all the trash talking, and all of the using, that person still hides things to you and would lie right to your face if you found the truth.
I see this everywhere and will never understand why all people live and act in these ways. Furthermore, when I see and understand this, I wish I could understand why I continue to let these things happen to myself.
Stop it.
