Lying From The Inside

Everyone lies. It’s a simple but true fact. As humans we are predestined to lie at some point during the course of our lives. This does not necessarily mean that all people are pathological liars, just that we all feel a need to bend the truth for our benefit, especially in those tight situations when the truth might cause hurt to someone we love or care about.

What about when we lie to ourselves, I mean really LIE to ourselves to the point that we start to believe what we are saying. It may begin as a slight “bending of the truth” to help you get through a situation, but eventually snowballs into a refusal to face the truth.
Being in love is normally something people are joyous about, they want the whole world to know that they’ve found that special person and all is right in the universe. It seems almost insane that a person would lie to themselves and others, insisting that they were not in love when truthfully they know they are.

Lying from the inside can come from a desire to not be hurt. Using the rationale that if I tell myself and the world that all is okay, it will be, a person is simply prolonging the inevitable; the day when they have to own up to the truth. The pain of letting the truth surface can be harsh but in the long run will prove to be better than living a lie.
Unto thine own self be true.
