I'm not young enough to know everything.
Oscar Wilde.
He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone; having said this, each one withdrew little by little. So everyone is as imperfect as opportunities may present themselves to fail. This is why lying makes our lives and the lives of others a little more bearable. Just imagine telling your partner that the new dress she bought with such a longing to wear it to a meeting doesn't fit her at all or her haircut doesn't look good; as a woman I can tell you that you are in trouble.
From my position I can also say that many times we want to be lied to and even lies can save us.
For example: a person who knows of another person's terrible diagnosis and yet; encourages them to move forward, this evil is reversed. I think that would be the best of lies.
But if I were given the choice between losing my ability to lie forever or having to believe everything I am told I would rather have to deal with losing my ability to lie.
What a challenge it would be to tell every person the truth to their face, I would most likely gain a lot of enemies with that; more than I already have. I would definitely have to change jobs and I would be looking to become independent since in my current job I have to be very political; go through many filters what I say plus soften everything I have to express.
Having to believe everything I am told implies real suffering because we all speak from our own reality and the experiences we have had.
To speak without judging it is necessary to heal our emotional wounds, overcome our frustrations and be at peace with ourselves. We are not responsible for the expectations that others form of us.
