About lies

Why lies exist? are we able to live without them? how many times somebody lies during all their life?
little lies, big lies, white lies, dangerous lies, so many kind of lies...........and i dont believe that somebody hasnt lied at least once in life...........even if its to avoid some bad situation or to hide some hurtful truth...........

then i think................i read once this quote: «I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you» (Friedrich Nietzsche)........but is it possible? because if it is, we cant believe in anybody else............even in ourselves..............

what world is this where we dont know if everything that people say to us is true? and worse than that is when that happens with people who are close to us...........people we think they love us and care about us and suddenly things change, and although our heart keeps telling us to trust in them, theres always things that make us feel they are lying to us............but we want to believe in them, we try to find stupid excuses to accept everything they say to us, even if they are not logical................and in that moment its us who are lying to ourselves, isnt it?

«
The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.» (Richard Bach)

so i will keep doing what i always do..........i keep believing in people as long as they give proofs of their friendship, as long as they show they care about me and they need and trust me...........even if sometimes there are little white lies i feel they are telling to me, maybe to hide some unuseful but painful truth..............i want to believe in those people because i also know they believe in me :-)

but if there are people who often show they dont care about me and about my feelings, im very sorry but i dont believe in those people.........its so sad but i must do that...........because i need to survive in this big mess where we all live............

anyway, as George Bernard Shaw said: «
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.»

i believe that people who keep lying during all their lives, they will finish one day all alone in the middle of their own lies.............
