"To lie, or not to lie, that is the question."



"Do I look fat in these jeans?" How you answer this question may earn you a full booklet of love coupons from your spouse, mate, lover "boo" or "bae", or how you answer could get you a week long vacation on Island couch! I don't know your life. Are you honest? And pack your bags? Or do you lie and "spare their feelings" and save yourself an uncomfortable trip? Hmmm... the question of why people lie is profoundly important and endlessly intriguing. 

Our society has grown very comfortable with lying to one another, and the concept of deceit has infiltrated our ideas regarding cultural etiquette by camoflaging itself as "the way things are done". This mindset has gone viral and is slowly dissecting the fabric of basic communication.

 I wanna say, you may not have thought that "little white lie" would help destroy communication as we have been taught. Follow me on this journey and together we will learn why people lie and how we as a community and culture can overstand this dynamic and construct a roadmap that can navigate us onto a different perspective and create authentic relationships. Love yourself, so you can love others! See you at the top!
