People lie. They lie about themselves, their deeds, and what they are feeling and thinking. Like the old expression ‘even their thoughts give them away’, these lies show through their actions. It’s just what people do. In most cases it is to make someone’s life, or at least their hearing, less troublesome and less painful. Maybe it’s done from the standpoint of caring. If it isn’t done from the caring standpoint, then it’s for hidden reasons.
We are trapped by our beliefs, and our beliefs govern our reasoning. Reasoning is based on life experiences and sometimes these experiences are less than gratifying. To feel better, we weave magic like shamans, artistically painting the picture we want to see and believe. Words drop like musical notes from our mouths to deceive the listener. Joy, or some form of pleasure is derived from this scenario, otherwise we wouldn’t express these feelings though lies.
We’re free to express expressions of grandeur, but expressions are feelings that can be read. If the listener is perceptive, lies become merely a disappointment, and unbelievable.
