Beautiful Lie

Since we were little we have always been told that lies are bad. Our parents taught us that the truth will set you free, that the world would be a better and happier place if everyone said the truth. I don't really agree to that.

I think that people use lies as a kind of protection. A wall between the world that their minds create and the true world. The fake world has its ups and downs but we still feel like we're in control of everything around us, but put the lies aside and you find yourself in a world where you are just a pawn of society and whatever you do doesn't matter whatsoever. That would be scary.

When you think about it we all have to lie sometimes. We start with small ones like "he did it" or "the dog ate my homework" to more sophisticated ones like adultery or thievery as we get older. Everyone lies and your lying to yourself if you say that you don't.

Secrets.
In a world where we only speak the truth there would not be any secrets. That is a hard thing to imagine. To have your darkest thoughts and your worst memories known by everyone that you love. Many people say that if someone loves you enough then they will also love your faults. NO one loves your faults. They may love you enough not to take them into consideration but no one will ever appreciate you for all of the bad things you have done. People's judgement is harsh even by those that you love.

So in short I believe that lies and secrets are necessary to everyone. The truth may set you free but takes a hell of a lot of guts to say it.
