so, scandalous.
there are alot of things worth learning and maybe why i lie is one of them. Though i've heard it said that the concept of lying is no longer in use and that may very well be true. Still I think that the different ways I will narrate a lie and the reasons for that lie are interesting. So for example if i lie and say that something is workable in a relationship after a drawn out fight and being set an ultimatum of fill role x or be gone from this person's life and i retell the story of my lie several times all the time recognizing its nature as a lie the reasons i offer over time for that lie are interesting. Story one i lied because i wanted the sex. Story two, i lied because i was faced with an ultimatum and didn't want to loose the whole thing. Three, i lied out of fear for my physical safety. Why is it necessary to defend a lie? what is frightening about simply saying, yeah, i lied, i apologize for lying, this won't work out. Is it simply that to lie was the only option that seemed open for continuing a relationship? if that's so why do i put any primacy on contiuning that relationship? if it is necessary for me to defend the lie then do i take full ownership of how i bully how i coerce people into lying? thoughts on lying are welcome.
