RE: Is everyone a LIAR??
My aunt just recently passed because of a cancer that had spread throughout her entire body.She had seen her dr. several times about pain but, by her own admittance, she never told him everything.She consistantly lied to the dr. because shedidn't believe something could be seriously wrong.This is a woman who never smoked, drank 1-2 times a year(holidays), ate fast food MAYBE once a week.She was 54, taught land and water aerobics, kickboxing, and swam almost daily for exercise.Didn't mean to bring anyone down, but now when I go to the dr. you can bet they will hear everything.

1) These days with everyone trying to devoid themselves of responsibility for everything while at the same time feeling that they get no respect unless they are impressive to a degree that is well above average, it is no surprise that we have a society of liars. You can blame it on what ever you want. I personally feel it is the bad example set on various forms of entertainment media and by "celebrities", coupled with the fact that over the pasttwo decades idiot parents have moved from being suspicious of their lying little brats to trusting and believing everything they say. Now everyone who has ever been a youngun knows that younguns lie to avoid consequences. If they are not trained out of it they grow up to the kind of crap that we now are having to endure. When I was a kid if an adult told my mother that I had been misbehaving my mother without question believed the adult. Now these moronic parents turn to the lying little ***** and ask them about it and believe whatever they say. That is 50% of what is wrong with public schools.
2) If you are lying to your spouse and both are acknowledging and accepting it as normal, I feel sorry for your marriage. Many years ago we took a vow of trust and you can not trust a liar. Do not lie in your marriage and accept the fact that your partner is going to be mad at you sometimes and give them the right to do it without consequences and you will be surprised how it moves your relationship forward. If you are always having to placate your spouse you will live a long time. MISERY DRAGS BY.

I do not lie because I have no reason to fear the truth. Life IS pain and anyone who tries to tell you any different is trying to sell you something. I might withhold the truth to keep from hurting someone's feelings but if pressed I'd never outright lie to them...simple as that.
