"Ain't it the truth that hurts?" - The Briefs
What a remarkable song.
Sometimes being honest with people is just too painful for some people. I lie.....Alot. Just to keep people from crying and bitching at me. I don't want to upset people, that's why I do this. I've tried being honest and telling the truth, but in the end I was mocked and considered an asshole by my friends. So I can't get a break either way! Fuck you people!
So you've been lied to, but you don't know it's a lie yet until it hits you like a bus. Then the pain floods in. Isn't life so dramatic? Maybe some people need this sort of drama in life. Honestly, I don't think you could live without it. If you were living a perfectly honest life, where you were completely truthful, you'd fuckin explode!
Scenerio(today actually): Sometimes I help this older lady out after work. I go over to her house, help her clean up, she makes me dinner, and we get into deep discussion. She prays before we eat dinner. I have nothing against this. I divert my eyes and look at my hands till she stops. She's always inquiring about my lifestyle. It's not too unusual, but compared to her countrygirl upbringing, it would seem odd. So my tongue forks and red horns begin to surface from my scalp. I begin to convince her that I'm following a "righteous" path in life. I do this so she won't start begging me to go with her to church or praying for my "eternal soul". Yikes! I like talking to her and helping her out, but honesty doesn't fit into this little relationship we've acquired.
Flipside Scenerio(the age of 15): I was a real angry, ugly, and skinny crust kid. I would come up to people/friends and tell them exactly what I thought of them if they asked. Sometimes I wouldn't wait for them to ask and I would just blurt out something obscene. I was just bitter. Mainly towards the popular people. The people that tried to fit in, that went out of their way to fit in.

It always seems the people that beg for the truth the most are the ones that can't handle the truth when it hurts. I personally think it's better to be honest right off the bat even if it hurts or angers than be caught in a lie later...because then there's even more hurt and anger. At least with the truth...they asked and you told them...they can't hold that against you.
