Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to, are the people who want to trust you ~Lily of Lough Neagh~

People lie To suit their needs It still amazes me daily No conscience to be They play with others lives Juggling whom they decide to have Who is the better catch To spend an eternity with Life should not be considered a game Life should be about love and caring Helping a neighbor, lending an ear Taking care of the sick Being a good overall round person Yes we all lie But, gentle lies so as not to hurt others Perhaps a haircut they love but you don’t We say gently, well that’s different With a smile I’m glad you like it It suits you These are gentle caring lies So as not to spoil or hurt another And yet some are painfully honest Albeit we are not all the same Still we all lie to a degree Perhaps we feel bad, sick or hurt But we paint a smile on our face Others say, how are you? Okay you say That is a lie, but not one to hurt others You don’t want to ruin their day So we keep that painted smile on To bring a little sunshine to all Think therefore what you do When you lie There is always a consequence So you choose Carolee Dennis-Woosley May 8, 2014

I lie down in green pastures. ;-) Seriously, you make some good points. I'm told that women are much better at telling lies that make people feel good, than men. How we are feeling is quite relative� I often feel rotten, and then a few minutes later, feel great. I long ago gave away those trite responses and often responded to stupid questions like, "How's your liver," with equally snide reply, "Still livin'." I don't know how many times I've answered honestly to questions like that with, "Crappy" or "Not very good today."

I guess it's because I've lived long enough, been through shit, and don't appreciate trite little lies as honest answers, so I like to shock people like that. Just like you.

Regis, you are a soft, sensitive soul� I am not.

don't we all? we're so smooth at it that we don't recognize ourselves lying.

Being a good overall round person
Yes we all lie
But, gentle lies so as not to hurt others

Wisdom well-shared, Carol. There is much truth expressed via your verses here. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

"I'm fine."...........I've told that lie many times so people wouldn't know the hell I was in.

Love ya!
