Don't Lie. Please Don't.

I have wasted precious time asking my own self if the need to know the truth is as important as being happy. And after going through all the lies and deceit that make up a man's unknown sense of triumph, I realized it's better to be happy than to know the truth.

Now, Why is that?

What's with the 'honesty' , 'straight forwardness' and all that ?

Wouldn't it be better to know the truth, even if it's hard? At least I'd know reality!

Really? Are you so sure about reality? Do you compromise your own sense of understanding when it comes to reality? It's all under one sun. And the point -if you don't realize the importance of staying happy then why go after something that will make you even more uncomfortable? Think about it . If you want to know the truth- it's simply inviting complications. Well, here I speak about matters that concern you and your own choice of 'truth'. In certain cases- knowing the truth is important. But that's all global. And to be frank- it doesn't need an opinion. Only what concerns you- and a choice - is what needs scrutiny.

When you can live in an illusion of lies and stay happy- why would you want to change it? if you find a purpose and a reason..then so be it! Finding out what 'really' happened is finding out a way to leave all the happiness behind. When it doesn't change your environment of goodwill, and it doesn't change the relations you strive for, then living with what you know is the best.

Sometimes, accepting it and adjusting (two very different things FYI) becomes a task. But you'll realize by the end of it that what you did made no difference in anything, and anyone. Everything was good, everything is good.

So to come to think of all that was said - does this mean, you never speak the truth? Does it mean lying is the best option? Keeping people away from the real side of stories? ....ask yourself, and you'll get just one answer- No, it doesn't.

As Lenny said in Memento - "Do I lie to myself to be happy? ...Yes I will. "

PS- Who knows, I was probably just lying! =)

Thanks.
