The Invention of Lying, or Not
Today I wrote Why Do People Lie? I was looking through the local paper, and there was a story in it about why people lie. Prior to reading that article and my writing this one, I thought I must be a helluva mark because people lie to me everyday. I guess I'm not so special. People lie to each other everyday about almost anything. But did you know that people lie to themselves as much as they lie to other people? One of my favorite things to lie to myself about is how much I ate. Another: the dryer shrunk my pants.
I lie. We lie. Everyone lies. We're all a bunch of word-class liars. No really. It's true. Ricky Gervais did not invent lying. I know it's hard to believe.
Anyway, if you'd like to, check out my article.
