i like the liars. i think they're a great band.....
......seriously though, liars do suck. as a reformed compulsive liar myself, i can say i've seen the effects of lies i've told penetrate deep. i know i've hurt some people, some irreferably. my new policy is brutal honesty, which isn't always popular either, but a lot easier to handle the concequences of.
i don't think that it's an "afraid to be honest" thing though. i was never afraid of the truth, as i was afraid of myself. i lied to help invent an identity for myself (i was adopted). i had to figure out who i was before i could stop lying. lesson for all possible future liars: learn to love yourself. it helps.
also, you're wrong about lying getting you nowhere.
it gets you nice and alone.
fast.

Amen for the truth sista! I just got verbally beat up for being totally honest in my journal about what I think and why, and apparently that makes me "predatory and attacking". Then don't fuckin' read it, right?
that said, i hate liars and will not truck w/ them, no way.
