Reality Of Lying
Joey, I don't know the extent of your knowledge regarding the reality of of how things lie, so I am going to tell it like it is. For myself and Chrissy, and for you. I believe you are going to be unable, or unwilling to accept and move on from this reality until you know what the reality is, how can you know where you want to be if you don't know where you are? Here it is. Chrissy and I took each other's hearts when I was fifteen and she was thirteen. I belong to her and she to me since before you and her "met". She is a part of who I am, I love her like you can't contend with. I have loved her sacrificially and unconditionally, openly and boundlessly for almost 3 years. I almost lost my life for her in the flood. Her circumstances were beyond …show more content…
I could do this all day but as I won't try and get you to , I don't spend my waking hours on my god damn …show more content…
But here is my purpose in writing this, to give you the reality of your situation, and to tell you to leave Chrissy alone. Ideally, I want you two to continue talking, I want you to be a friend to her, make her laugh, let her talk to you when she's down. Just be a friend. But as I doubt you are strong enough to do that without making her feel guilty or manipulated, you need to piss off. She wants you to, and I want you to. Go grow the hell up, leave the love of my life alone. I know this is just some guy messaging you over facebook from 1,200 miles away, and that you can say anything behind a screen. But here is the truth that you have the OPTION to believe or not, which changes nothing. You have never met someone like me. I don't mind admitting that this world has tried to break me in every way. I've stared at death as much as you have stared at your computer, don't fuck with me. Nothing stops me. I am capable of doing whatever my heart and mind decides it wants. The best part is no one knows this until they get to figure it out first hand, I suggest you avoid that experience. I am more than capable of showing up at your front door. But I don't have to. Let me lay this out for you. I have the power. You

    After reading Stephanie Ericsson’s article titled “ The ways we lie” , I chose to write about delusion. In Ericsson’s article she said that delusion is closely related to other forms of lying such as dismissal , omission , and amnesia. It is a form of protecting yourself from facts that you don’t want to face. Instead of taking a good look at yourself and being totally honest with yourself , you allow logic to go out the window and make up excuses for your actions. You may truly believe what you are telling yourself . That makes delusion a cunning way to excuse your behavior and your actions. On a grander scale, some people may delude unpleasant or overwhelming facts ( such as “The Revelation” (or second coming) because to truly adknowledge…

    It’s been made clear by the author, that the average American citizen does not possess an optimal knowledge on mathematics. Assuming that his words reflect the truth, naturally. The sole fact that society has converted the incapacity of an adult to perform basic mental processes into a laughing matter, reveals the alarming condition of the country’s masses. Therefore, without any developed mathematical skills, it wouldn’t be too implausible to believe that a standard individual is unable to tell, or at least estimate, the consistency of any given statistic. Nonetheless, Joel Best’s goal is not to prove the inefficiency of the education system, but the credulity and lack of judgment of the general public.…

    Deceit of Reality

    • 2129 Words
    • 9 Pages

    When it comes to reality TV, "reality" becomes a problem, a story created by producers and editors. The media exploits people who grope for airtime, who will do anything for their five minutes of fame, and are willing to bare their souls, or their bodies, for that matter, on national television. Neal Gabler wrote a piece on "Grieving for the Camera" which discusses the problems with the news today. According to Gabler, when people are in a state of grief, they are vulnerable. They become an easy target to be manipulated into whoever the producers think will make a good story. In "Confessions of a TV Talk Show Shrink," a media psychologist named Stewart Fischoff reveals his relationship with TV talk shows and analyzes the effect that the media has on reality. He believes that the false portraying of reality is an immoral practice. When it comes to "reality" TV shows, Debra Seagal goes behind the scenes and shows the influence that editors have to rearrange "reality" in "Tales From the Cutting-Room Floor." This manipulation becomes a danger to the passive viewers for people become fodder for the recreation of reality. "Reality" TV is no more than a falsity of reality which creates a problem of fraudulence in society. How far will we let this go?…

    Why Are Lies Wrong

    • 722 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The dictionary defines a lie as, “a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.” However, while the intent of a lie is to deceive, that deceit is not always intended to cause detriment to others. Lies can be told for justifiable reasons such as to protect the feelings of others, but more often lies are told for the wrong reasons. For example, lies are mostly told to avoid the consequences of one’s actions such as with criminal activities and academic misconduct. When comparing acceptable and unacceptable reasons to lie, the unacceptable reasons greatly outnumber the acceptable.…

    Effects of Lying

    • 1195 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Human beings have one thing in common – we all lie. Many of us like to think of ourselves as honest individuals, but what we do not realise is that there are many occasions when we will resort to lying, whether we are aware of it or not. Lying has become a part of our social behaviour such that most of us often think it is okay to do so, without weighing the consequences of our actions. True to what we think, lying can be acceptable, but it depends on the circumstances. There are many reasons for lying: We lie mainly because we want to avoid something from happening, or we are afraid of something; we lie as a joke, for deceptive gains and even sometimes, to protect the people around us. This is especially so when we think that telling those people the “truth” may hurt them, thus we tend to hide the truth by telling them a white lie in order to preserve the relationship. In this case, the lie is often seen as harmless, though it may not necessarily be acceptable to the person being lied at, as some people just prefer the truth, no matter how much it may hurt. There are other forms of lies and what defines a lie is anything that is not the whole truth. Thus, people may lie unconsciously either because they cannot recall the entire truth, or because they think that some information are not necessary and can be omitted. The severity of the consequences for telling lies differs, depending on the type of lie, but these consequences are usually negative.…
