It is NOT ok to LIE at ALL.. like you said about your wife, one lie then another pretty soon a lie to cover other lies. I am 47 years old, and I do not think I realized that literally almost EVERYONE was lying to me until age 46. That i when I woke up.
Lying is a sin for a reason, and even though I still freaking LIE EVERYDAY and it makes me crazy, I try and point out WHILE I am lying that I am doing it to who ever is there.
I am going to do a video on how we lie soon also. It is pervasive and extremely corrosive to understanding each other on a level where there is no ego and judgement. Yike, long way to go.
Sometimes it's inevitable, some people are too sensible to the truth, so people tell them what they want to hear, and not necessarily what is the truth.
It's almost impossible to court a woman without lying to her, and it's likewise true, most women will lie to their partners.
If people are unable to accept the truth, then they need a lesson in reality and how their ego controls them. I cannot deal with it anymore. I see liars pretty much everywhere, it has become the norm. Most people are almost hopeless zombies I know this because I was one. By the way I believe earth is flat haha so lying to me is the baseline. Pretty much EVERYONE does it. I think the problem is pretty much nobody seems to care when stuck in a zombified state.
