Lying is always wrong!  Let’s me rephrase that…Lying is necessary in life.  We can’t all be honest or be honest with everything, we need to lie sometimes.  I mean I don’t practice lying, but surely I at least lie to myself once in a while.  Ok, I am lying right now, I lie to myself ALL THE TIME…gosh you got it out of me.  I don’t lie to others though.  I try to avoid all situations in which I have or might have to lie to someone.  Consider my technique, I “Ninja’d” myself from the situation.  Ninja is a technique or a phrase I enforce as an action verb to mean how I stealthy did something.

For example, “John asked me if I wanted to go to the bank with him, but I Ninja’D a lie about me having too much paper work to do to go with him.”

Or another example, “I watched how Jenny Ninja’D out of doing the dishes after dinner last night, by sneaking out the door to go to work.”

Anyways, back to lying.  I hate lying, but if lying was necessary to save your life or someone’s else life, I think you can be forgiven for that, if you admit to lying down the line.

Here are couple lies I don’t like:

1. Lying that you don’t got the money you owe me.
2. Lying to get out of work, when you really could have came in.
3. Lying that you haven’t stolen from me. (Those deserve a straight punch in the face, maybe even a beat-down or some handcuffs, 🙂 )
4. Lying to you parents. (Come on, really, you going to lie to your moms?, well your pops I can understand)
5. Lying to a girlfriend or boyfriend that you ain’t cheat. (Come on, own up stop lying, take it like a man, umm or a woman)

Well there are many other lies out there, but hey, I can’t list them all.  But anyways I lie, but I lie to myself.  Then again I try to validate my lies, in hopes to make them true.

Here are my favorite lies, or lies I tell myself:

1. I can work 3 days straight without feeling tired.
2. I don’t need to sleep today.
3. I can do XYZ that many more push ups today.
4. I can pay off this credit card by the end of the year
5. I can lose 5 lbs in 2 days…(umm sorry this one was very much proven it can be done, I thought I would let you know, :))

My lies motivates me.  Also when someone lie to me, makes me so much more cautious and curious at the same time and just as much motivated to uncover the lie.

What is your favorite lie?  Do you love to lie? Do you feel lying is necessary?
