Honesty

I find it amazing,how we are able to divulge our innermost thoughts and secrets to strangers whom we know,we'd never have to encounter ever again.

There was one thing though i told myself i would do and stick to till the end of my time here,is to make sure i tell no lies but i don't have to tell you the truth either...i could, tell you on a more need to know basis?so i wouldn't be untruthful,i would just be withholding information.

The point i am trying to make here is, don't you think life's simpler when all we could do is just tell it as it is?

Well,honestly i don't know life any other way so...this has been my way of life,and i doubt it'll be changing anytime soon.

However, whats really of interest to me now,is how much we bend the truth when it comes to ourselves.

Think about it,when was the last time you were extremly totally honest with yourself?

We sugar coat,rephrase,renact and distort the actualy premise of things that we are dealing with,just because its easier to digest.Its called denial.

So,now that i've agreed with myself (god i love my monologues) let us proceed to something more sensitive...

The question would be WHY?

WHY do we lie to ourselves?why are we in constant denial?

Its easier! there you go...we lazy lazy humans...always making life easier (mind you not simpler).

I might be wrong,but this happens to be a monologue...

SO, it has come to my attention that, the cheif propagating factor would be fear of acceptance, being judged, losing ones stand in general.

This would in turn tell me that,most of us, have an external locus of control with very poor self esteem?I mean, you should at least have the guts to fight for what yo believe in right? If you take the cowardly route and mould yourself to what the society wants, you are nothing exceptional, you are a LEMMING...how charming, let us all be dull and the unimaginative copies of one another...

Someone very wise once said, THE REASONABLE MAN ADAPTS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD,AND THE UNREASONABLE ONE ADAPTS THE WORLD TO HIMSELF.
