in vino veritas (misspelled??)

I realized that I have severely fallen behind in my blog posting. If you go back to the very first post, I promise to try and post at least every day…that did not happen. Sorry to my very very few readers. Thanks for sticking around (if you still are)

So right now im sitting in history class writing this on a word document in case my teacher comes around, this way it looks like im taking notes…which of course im not. But good news is im recording this class so if I want to (which I don’t) I can go back and listen to it whenever I want. Clever huh?

Anyways moving on from that because obviously if your reading this you have better things to do than listen to me talk about my history class. also, sorry for the bad quality of writing, i seem to have temporarily lost my mojo/topics to discuss/junior year is working me hard so heres what i came up with with the little bit of my brain that has not been fried to insanity.

So today’s topic is: speak the truth

It’s interesting how people only speak the whole truth when they are… lets say not quite themselves to put It nicely. If your not picking up on it, people only speak the whole truth completely uninhibited for a few reasons:

  1. they are completely drunk
  2. they are really high on something
  3. they are talking in their sleep
  4. a situation has reached the point where something really just has to be done

reason 1 and 2 kinda go together though seeing as both mess with your ability to make decisions that you may consider right or perhaps even morally sound while you are sober. but then again all of them are kinda similar except number 4, thats the one where you really have to be in your right mind OR you could be driven to the point of insanity by something...so all of them involve some sort of mental setback.

anyways, a lot of people say that the truth hurts, and although thats true (granted not all truths are bad) dont you think that if someone has been lying to your face would hurt you even more if/when you found out?

example, a group of people who you think are your friends have actually been just pretending to like you and actually trash talk you behind your back.

the lie: that you are their friend

the truth: that you are not their friend and they hate you/are annoyed by you

in this situation the lie is hurting you more because you are under the impression that you have a nice group of friends but thats not the reality. if they just told you the truth you could stop living a lie and get a new group of friends who actually like you! you would be much happier come 20 years when you go to invite all your friends to your wedding and the few people who do come are only there because theres an open bar. even a simpler example of like you have B.O and nobody tells you, the lie of omission is hurting you more than a simple "you smell bad" would cost you. i think the main point is that your not sparing people by lying to them, your hurting them more. Besides, whats the worst thing you could say to them??
