One Big Lie

Lies are everywhere. Now that's something thats true. People tell lies everyday. These can range anywhere from "of course you don't look fat in those pants" to "I really am your son". I, for instance, lie much more than I should. When i was in middle school, I used to make up fantastic stories about myself for my friends. As I've grown older, I have definitely stopped this (for the most part), but that doesn't mean I never lie anymore, although I try my best not to for one reason. That reason is that lying can have extremely dangerous consequences.

It is sometimes scary how readily some people except lies. I am not immune to this either, but I hope that I realize what I'm hearing is a lie, and that I just chose to accept it.

It is also very strange to try to remember lies that you have succeeded in. This is because these lies have a tendency to blend in with you life until even you believe them to be true. To this day I still don't know if some of my memories are true or if they are just pictures in my mind. Pictures that i have imagined so many times, the line between reality and fiction has been blurred.

Unless you have experienced this same phenomenon, what I just say may should like gibberish to you. Lucky for you, this entire essay may have been a lie.
