White Lie: A Necessity or An Excuse?

What defined a white lie? Is it really a lie told when someone lie to protect someone else’s feelings? Or is it merely an excuse to get away from trouble?

Was this terminology developed from another terminology; what he/she doesn’t know won’t hurt him/her? You know, the so-called feeling-protection method use, supposedly to refrain people’s feeling from getting hurt by actions (that shouldn’t be done) of other people? In order to execute this feeling-protection method, people need some kind of tool. That’s when white lie comes in.

Bottom line, it’s a form of cover up. You did something you shouldn’t & try to make it acceptable by not revealing the actual fact. Sounds like a whole load of crap to me.

My take on this? Lying is bullshit. Only cowards lie. A lie is a lie. No matter what the bloody reason is. If you’re too scared to get in trouble, don’t do things you shouldn’t. You should be able to take full responsibility for your action. Any matured adult should be aware of that.

So, is a white lie a pure necessity or just an excuse? You tell me.

Let Go

Letting go is hard. Especially when it comes to things you loved. It gets even harder when it’s involving the person whom you loved. But sometimes letting go is essential. I’m forced to do just that today.

No, wait. Technically, it was yesterday (a few hours or so ago) & the decision was made consciously, so willingly that I have to kick myself a lot for doing it. I let go without fighting, which is so not me. So not me. But it’s all good though. I’ve learn that the major key to let go of things is to give them up willingly, consciously. Otherwise you won’t ever be able to accept facts & move on with your life.

This year alone, I have to face all sort of loses. Lost of things. Lost of people. Both forced & with conscious decision. Either way, I’m fundamentally fucked…
