I have no respect for lies and dishonesty. I don’t understand why people feel the need to lie to each other no matter what kind of degree of lying, there is in my opinion no such thing as a white lie, lying is lying, period. I found out, someone from my past has been making things up, complete total bollocks, and I honestly believe that he/she is being deceitful. I just don’t get this, deceitful behaviour is something that is not in my vocabulary and people who practice this are kind of sad to me…
It’s annoying me, I guess I’m just very disappointed to find out his/hers true colours once again. Trust me I have been thinking hard about this and the tough bit is that I totally can’t come to terms with it and what he/she is trying to accomplish, especially when there are others involved as well. To me it feels like bragging and showing off to those around him/her by intentionally keeping the truth hidden or stretch it big time. I could end it easily and reveal the truth by making it public, which would make this person lose face.
But I won’t… Me and a very dear friend had a really good laugh instead when I told her. After all, this person already makes an utter fool of him/herself ‘en public’ [yes that’s French for publicly…]. [Edit January 2009: I honestly think this person has a slight mental problem as in making up stories that never happened or is extremely thick, I was there so was my friend IvS, we both know lies are spread…]
Btw, here’s the picture my best friend IvS sent me last Tuesday which was taken when I met up with them on the 22nd of May to have dinner. IvS and husband FvS came over from Scotland to see the Chelsea Flower Show on Wednesday. We had a drink and falafel [that’s what I’ve got in my hand] at a tiny organic restaurant/terrace [Covent Garden Plaza] and went for dinner an hour later in the same area. They really spoiled me that evening!
