Catch Them If You Can

I always say if you don't have high expectations for somebody than they can never disappoint you, but something as genuine as keeping your word seems to be so difficult for some.  Breaking a promise leads to my disappointment.  Who would have ever thought that the simple words that come out of a person's mouth, could have such an effect on the simple thoughts that linger in my mind?

We have all lied before; whether it be a tiny little fib to get us out of trouble at that very moment which will soon be forgotten, or a disturbing lie to cover our own mistakes which will haunt us later on.  Most days I just want to meet the man who invented lying so I can kick him between his legs with my Steve Madden heels, but all the other days I feel like I could just call him because I'm certain his number is in my cell phone. 

Some people may eat up your lies because ignorance is bliss; they would truly just rather not know the reality of a situation.  I pity anyone who adopts that mindset.  You're simply scarred from all those times when you got your feelings hurt and somebody raises their eyebrows at you before they say, "Well, the truth hurts."  So now you think that what you won't know won't harm you and you accept the filthy, false words that roll off of a liar's lips.  Listen- you were an idiot then, and you're more of an idiot now. 

I'd rather be upset by some honest words that I don't like hearing than be ignorant and made a fool of.  When toilet paper is stuck on your shoe and you walk around with a huge oblivious grin on your face, wouldn't you rather have someone tell you than let you continue on looking like a fool?  If your boyfriend or girlfriend were cheating on you and everyone including their mother and mailman knew about it, wouldn't you want to be informed?  For those of you who serve the lies, good luck.  And for those of you who believe the lies, you're a lost cause.  

What's most imporant?  Knowing the truth or walking around with a smile that is built from everything but that?  Some may say ignorance is bliss, but lately I beg to differ.  If you must lie, think about what will happen once you're caught.  A simple thing we share everyday-words, have no meaning most of the time because talk is cheap and the suckers will never catch the liars.
