beLIEve

Everybody lies.

And that's the truth. To get away with something as a kid, you lie to your parents. To get excused from the upcoming exams, you can lie to your professor. To stay out all and to go gallivanting, do drugs, to get drunk, get laid, or whatever your poison is, you lie. It is Machiavellian to lie in order to attain something, but will it not defeat this Machiavellianism if you lie for the greater good? I've been in a couple of "relationships" filled with lies, vile lies, and more lies, but somehow those relationships worked until I acknowledged and criticized their foundations. Shouldn't relationships be based on the truth instead of these lies?

On trusting

No, I do not trust people at all that much. I trust them with the trivial things like leaving the beer on the table without them putting chili sauce on it, but not with the big things like getting this medicine for my heart problem or some shit like that. Sometimes these trust issues arise due to our differentiating values, conflicts of interest, and some factors that constitute that person's personality. People's self-interest make them hesitate to do something for somebody, even to someone really close. I believe that if I trust this person enough to give him/her something of importance he/she would only disappoint me in the end. People are so disappointing. Well, that's why I don't expect much from them either.

So please, you cunts, enough with the damn charade and show your true colors. Shed the fucking donned sheepskin garb.
