To Lie Or Not To Lie, That Is The Question
G.D.O'Bradovich III
June 11, 2013
As a Sagittarius, I have always believed that honesty or being factual is the acceptance of reality, although the wording “acceptance of reality” is a recent addition to my philosophy. Have I exchanged my idealism for reality? Possibly.
I realized that if I am deceitful when dealing with people, they will accept what I say, but when I state facts, I become a blatant liar and I am “called out” on what I said.
Previously, I attributed this phenomenon to me being a Capricorn or to being tall or to being male or any possible combination thereof. I even thought it may be a variable I was not aware of and would eventually find, if I gave the matter enough time, thought and attention. Now, I am not certain if it is what I say, or if it is just my persona.
The paradox of this revelation is that the more I lie, the more truthful people will perceive that I am-reality be damned.
Therefore, as an experiment of indefinite duration, I will fabricate to the best of my ability, I will prevaricate, I will distort and I will use falsehoods. I will abhor reality and embrace fantasy.
If I become more liked and better regarded than I have ever experienced before, then I will know that the fault does not lie with the stars or myself, but within others.
