IT's A POOR IDEA TO LIE TO YOURSELF

Are we really that insecure, that we lie to ourselves? Why do we keep doing that? I’ll tell you why, because we keep comparing ourselves with the next person, even competing against them. We always try to impress people we don’t like. I always say if you fool yourself you fool the world.
We lie everyday to ourselves, whether we realise it or not. I honestly don’t believe in “white lies”. A lie is a lie. Some of us lie too much, so much it became a bad habit that formed part of our lifestyle. Some of us became so good at lying that we don’t feel guilty anymore. This is the danger however, because once, you are bound to lie the second time, leading you to lying all the time. Every time we lie to someone, we actually lie to ourselves. Most of us lie to protect ourselves from the unknown truth. Lying becomes a routine for some, causing us not to think before lying.
By lying all the time, we wake up in the morning a lie. We lose ourselves, we forget who we are, and we base our lives on lies. Our own lies control us; it controls the way we think and act.
Now let us all join hands and sing along to the lyrics of TLC: “Dear lie, you suck, you think you’ve got the best of me. You sick, you’re dumb, and you think you can fix anything. I’ve got your balls, won’t let you unnerve me, won’t let u control me, the truth will only free me and your lies won’t hurt no more. Get out of my mouth, get out of my head, get out of my life, and stop putting words in my head, you’re nothing but trouble. JUST GET OUT OF ME!”
