Lies


nobody in this world can live without telling a lie.
lies are all around us,
whether we like it or not.
lies revolve around us
just like the earth revolves around the sun
there are two types of lies in my opinion
the good ones and the bad ones.
it is difficult to classify them
because in every lie lies a piece of both good and evil.
its just up to how we determine it.


i am a person
who tells many lies in a day
i am not telling a lie by saying this.
i lie for a reason
but sometimes without too.
i play pranks,
tricks,
feign,
and tease.
its similar to oxygen for human beings
just that i don't do it all the time
but i do it at least ten times a day.
that's not a lie.


i admit,
i love to tease people
to get their attention
attention seeker I am...
yet everytime i do,
i tell a lie
which is not true about that person
i call them stupid, ugly, brainless
i name them, dustbin, rubbish, toilet bowls
yet the thing that's true about them is not what i say...
i feel guilty always towards my friends whom i tease
though i spare no sympathy for those when i really mean it.
evil person?
maybe...


in life, we tell lies to deny the truth from being told.
like when we forget to do our homework,
we weave a lie that can pardon us from the music we have to face.
like when we forget to bring something,
we weave a lie that is just another excuse
and like when we do something wrong
we weave LIES to make ourselves innocent.
this is evil...
yet it changes with context and how we lie to whom


other times, we lie to prevent further 'damage'
be it physical or emotional or psychological.
like when someone passes on,
we lie to another person to prevent them from greiving
yet the effects are only temporary.
like when we are down with serious problems of health
we lie to make sure we get treated the same and not let others worry
yet the effects are only temporary.
we know the END consequence
but we still do it.
is this good?
or is this evil?
to deny the truth from someone
when he or she has the right to know it...


so many questions in life
mostly answered by counsellors
however,
are they lying?
just to release you from the stress you have?
reason is,
why do they answer these questions
when they do not have the answers themselves?
and again, has all the things i have just typed
been a big fat lie?
