Everyone Lies

We all tell lies, and we all know it.  Sometimes we think of them as white lies.  These are those little fibs we tell about our age, our weight, or how much we spent on an item.  Most of the time we accept the fact that we are being lied to, and barely even pay any attention.  We actually expect to be deceived!

We lie to each other, teens lie to their parents, and parents lie to their children.  In fact, according to an article on WebMD called "The Lies We Tell Our Kids," if you claim you have never lied to your children, you are probably lying.

However, every once in a while, a lie is so big, so hurtful and so damaging that we cannot ignore it any longer.  Sometimes these lies cost us money; sometimes they cost us our marriage; sometimes they leave us feeling stunned by our own gullibility.

This blog is about all these kinds of lies.  In it you will find true stories about lies that have hurt people in one way or another.  In addition to what is posted here, I hope my readers will take the time to share their own experiences with lies.  Perhaps you have told a lie that you regret.  In other cases, you may have been told a lie that still causes you to feel angry and resentful.  Finally, you may know of a lie that was told to someone else, and that caused a lot of problems. 

Whatever experiences you have had with lies, please feel free to share them in the comments section at the end of each post.  All I ask is that you do not give the full names of specific people, unless the nature of the lies is so public that the stories have already been published in the news.
