Honestly

A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend and we were arguing about honesty. He said that he was completely transparent with people, 100% honest all the time. I countered with the fact that I will lie to spare someone's feelings.

Afterwards I sent out a message to my friends: who is more loving, the person who is honest all the time no matter what or the person who lies to spare someone's feelings?

Everyone replied that they would rather be told the truth no matter what except for one person who would rather be lied too and one who said it would depend on the situation. A couple of the reasons I heard was that the other person will eventually find out the truth later and that if you lie once you have to continue to lie. It made me start to wonder if I really lie because I'm afraid of hurting people or if that is just an excuse I use to justify it.

Anyways it's good food for thought. But in general I don't really care what people think about me or what I do. I'm not going to function based on the way you want me to be. I will lie and have lied before, but I'm doing it less and less now. There just isn't that much at state any more. I want to be accepted for who I am, not who I try to be.

So don't read what I write if you don't want to find out what I have to say. I'm not in middle school or high school anymore, and I'm not going to act like it.

By the way, Robbin Hood is a really good movie.
