Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life-- Proverbs 4:23

As humans we're trained to be skeptical, because lets face it,

people lie to us all the time.

The rule is, every person is a liar until proven honest. Lying is bad. Or so we are told constantly from birth- honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree, whatever. The fact is lying is a necessity.

We lie to ourselves because the truth, the truth hurts.

No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, whether we like it

or not.

But here's the truth about the truth:

It hurts.

So we lie.
