My day would go fantastic if people would completely stop killing each other in the name of their God.

I was just wondering how the day would go if ---------------- People would tell the truth about what they are actually thinking. Stop worrying about hurting someones feelings if they asked you a question and you tell them the truth. If a person doesn't like the truth than you don't need them.

Would a wife stop asking about how see looks wearing certain articles of clothing? For 45 years my wife asked me that very question many times. Sometimes I said you look great and sometimes I told her what I thought didn't look right. She never got mad at me and actually wanted my opinion and always thanked me.

People need to stop blaming other people or things and live up to what they actually did. That would be telling the truth.

This World has really become a World of fabrication, what people think they want to hear, and not telling much truth but just enough mixed in with the fabrication.

I love it when people ask me. Please tell me what is wrong here. If you don't know you say no. However if you actually kbow and tell them they get mad at you. Those are the people that one doesn't need. Truth is a very important thing I learned at a young age because I was brought up that way. Not so much now and I can see from my own Grandchildren and other peoples children. That's the way the world is now and truth is very limited these days. It's all about, I didn't do that and people believing them instead of investigating the situation to find the truth..

Lying is not a useless thing, though recently it became a strong habit of everyone, even if you think of girls using tons of make-up and paying for plastic surgeries... Just to alter reality. Isn't this a lie too? And sometimes small lies make you progress in life (though not big ones, that will surely cause trouble sooner or later). Nowadays everything is about lying, politics, economy, school (in our country many students use cheating to get better grades though I hear it is not a habit in the Americas), everyday life, we are sorrounded by lies every day because the truth is so bad.. People would panic if they knew the truth of everything.. Like global warming is not a stupid conspiracy theory and mankind is facing a brutal planet-wide catastrophy in some decades.. Americans like to think there is nothing wrong with their lifestyle, and this is a lie too, threatening the future.

I don't think humans would be able to live without lies, it is such a big part of our everyday life.

In smaller fields, like a person's life, you have to be careful what you do. Recently I went for telling the truth most of the times, but sometimes it is not the best option.. If I think about it, I would prefer in many cases to be lied to, if the truth was something that would make me sad or depressed for months or so.. But in the most important things like love, lying is the option of the stupid, like "I love you" (though I don't.. i hate it when people say this after a week just to please the other, so stupid, taking away the value of real loving...), or telling that you like something just to please the other one and giving up a part of yourself.. these lies will lead you on a road that has a certain end: failure and sadness...

^  yep, that's how it'd be.... there must be some reason we have the ability to lie... it's kind of a survival mode thing...those social little white lies allow us to live closely together with some cohesion rather than chaos...

the ability to lie must have been downloaded at the same time as the ability for language...

There are many forms of 'truth' but I do not really consider opinions or mindless meanderings to be truth. If my girlfriend asked if her ass was fat I would most likely say no, which may not be my honest opinion, but the truth is I love her, therefore I support her and help her feel good and confident, which I know is returned in kind. This same sort of basic function is for any social group, work, friends, and family.

I understand much better now. This is only an American problem.

There you go right there. People have a habit of saying things that don't need to say. In many cases there is no need to say anything so than it wouldn't be a lie or the truth. Eveyone is entilted to have their thought. However now it seems they must say things that have no real meaning. In many cases silence is golden. Most of this type of stuff doesn't have to happen. All one has to do is think for a minute what they are about to say or write and realize what good would that do. But no they just say things right away without thinking what hurt or harm it will do.

Personally...I take what people say with a grain of salt. I live by the motto of..."Your actions speak so loudly, I can't hear a word your saying."

No problem an over reaction on my part.

Everything I say is a lie...

Just like today went, biting my tongue on this topic to avoid trouble and conflict.That way , no lie needed.Good topic though Philly{lie} and great comments full of intellect{lie], Just kidding , relax.

Actually been entertaining to read, thanks.

Please, note the kidding part, thanks.

My day would go much better if people would stop making stupid statements or questions:

Q: How are you today? A: Terrible, thanks for reminding me!

Q: Have a nice day. A: I'll have a terrible day if I want, thank you very much!

Q: Do you know what time it is? A: (look at watch) Yes!
