something I learned a long while ago:
When some asks:
You like this I made; this dress look good on me; etc
my answer:
what do you think about it??? Do You like/love it??? (if they say yes) then my answer is Cool then it is good for you n my opinion is to support you...
I say this most of the time to spare feelings n to also not lie...
I was married once n have seen other couples n learned some times(some times many times) you have to tread lightly when ask a question a wife/girlfriend might ask n many men find it easier to just lie n I understand that BUT if you care about her try to do as I stated it is lying n if said sincerely it should be what she really wanted to hear... Lying is among the 10 commandments of things not to do n a lie is easily forgot n most likely you will be caught on it at some point n with me I have a hard enough time remembering the truth because my brain damage(from stroke n maybe also years of booze abuse) so telling a lie now I would forget after 10mins n say something else so not cool... I live a simpler life now I tell the truth n if the truth will hurt I try to say it another way to make it sound better or like approve... Lying has become the easy main stream way most people do things today BUT If you care about the person you are talking to also do you care about yourself n what people think of you then the truth is the best thing to do always... Telling the truth can be hard good examples is: child asks daddy is there a Santa??? daddy is there an easter bunny??? Now I would say to the child yes there is a Santa n Santa is in us all n we have a Santa at places to show us that Santa is every where... The easter bunny is a hard one don't know what I would say but think there are ways to be honest with everyone even kids I know it is a challenge n is easier to lie but think about what we are doing when we are lying... When we lie to children n they get older n learn we lied to them they resent you for it... Now granted I have no children so whom am I to say what you say to child, I am a crazy guy in a wheelchair that has learned at lot(not everything) after my stroke n just trying to help others to do better n love as much as possible n be loved...
So before you lie think is there a better way to tell the truth n being honest with others n yourself n again by tell truth you need not remember a lie because after time you most likely forgot the lie...
Be truthful n true to yourself...
just my opinion of me a crazy Koala...
HUG!!!
