(no subject)
tonight's episode: lies, deceit, and (more or less) betrayal.
it's quite hollywood-esque how my life seems to always dwindle down to small compact tales of morality. flat out strange how i rarely go out but seem to choose the nights where a plethora of action decides to take place. more hollywood-esque that all the action shares a common thread of said morality tale. maybe it's just fate.
whether it has been as mundane as a "secret" or as grand as committing perjury to save a friend or two. lying is part of american society, and that truth is here to stay. regardless of whether lying is admitted to or denied, every single person has committed the sin at least once in their life. i know this because man is fallible and such is a quality carried by every man, woman, and child walking this earth.
continuing on with the subject, man is capable of lying. however, there is a difference between lying to friends and figures of authority. in addition, there's a difference between telling white lies and flat out untruths. granted, most authority figures do know when lies are being spread as thick as they can to save someone or something, but they usually let it slide if the act was in good-harmless fun. friends, on the otherhand, will remember whenever they've been lied to. a deed that cuts like a knife and leaves a scar that never heals.
in summary, some cases it's acceptable to lie. either way, it will always be remember if is found to be a lie. that is a guaranteed fact.
to be frank, i really had no idea how to completely address this entry. maybe a better morality tale would've been one where the hero of the story learns that his whole world could be turned upside down in a matter of a few key moments. maybe they were randomly scattered and somehow became connected, or they were linked together specifically and strategically by fate.
...fuck it.
i have no real idea what i want to say. please, ignore the incoherent rambling mentioned above. i might as well come out with it: i feel betrayed, i feel dismissed because i told the truth when i probably should've lied, i've officially lied to a cop for the second time in the past year, and i feel that too much of my time is wasted searching for the truth and good that isn't necessarily going to be there.
man is inherently evil and i should learn it now before i learn it the hard way.
