Two or three things about "lying"

In the past, when someone who had just met or was not familiar with a party in the past asked the phrase "Your other partner is not here?", the standard answer was often a little guilty and said - "I'm currently single (ha)" .

Occasionally I wonder, is the ambiguous reply "currently single" a "lie"? It should be counted~ The interpretation given to people is that they are single at this stage, but not before; but when answering the question, it is obvious that they have no previous experience in dating, so how can they say that they are "currently single"?

But at that time, it could only be rationalized to think that it was for "making myself easy to explain", not to be questioned too much, and not to worry about being labeled "I don't have any love experience at this age?" A lot of good-natured lies.

However, if you are still "accidentally" asked a similar question at this stage, I guess you will be able to confidently + honestly answer - "I am currently single (haha)", because this "currently" is already a fact.

At that time, after seeing the essay "Community Activity Proposal | The Lies I Said", I recalled from time to time, in my life, what "lies" have I said in various situations? The so-called "people are in the rivers and lakes", if you don't count the details, the workplace category should be the ones with a large proportion, so I won't go into details here.

And "lying" may sometimes be more of an instinct or self-protection mechanism . Just like when I was a child, I always seemed to have unconsciously acquired the skill of "lying" without realizing it. It felt very natural.

The "lie" in the children's world is often blurted out , and it is easy and unburdened to say (perhaps he has not yet understood what a "lie" is about), while the "lie" in the adult world appears to be "deliberate" , and occasionally it depends on the situation. "Tired".

The "lie" in the adult world is not only "talking", but also "hands-on" when necessary, to complete the whole "lie" by physical action, and if one "lie" fails to effectively solve the current predicament, it needs to be extended to another. 1 "lie", then 1 more, until it's over. Even if you are behind, you may still need to worry about the possibility of something happening... Really tired .

Horizontal criticism - "honesty is the best policy".

"Did anyone tell me the truth Time is the biggest lie The daily life turns out to be impermanent" - Mayday "Blink of an Eye"

When I first listened to the song "Blinking Eyes", the sentence "time is the biggest lie" in it seemed to completely "hit" my heart, and it still plays back in my head from time to time, as if reminding myself of something.

When I was studying in high school, I must have been told by teachers and teachers - "you can't fall in love first", "you can get into a good university if you study hard..."; Only after leaving the society can you have a good job..." is often surrounded by ears; after leaving the society and entering the workplace, "working hard to earn money..." is like an invisible wall, and we are surrounded by it.

It is undeniable that there is a "context to be found" in the above, and it is not without reason, but it feels that other "more important" things need to be postponed again and again.

It is expected that "after the economic foundation is more stable, I can practice traveling with someone", "after the work has improved to a higher level, I can go home on time for dinner", "after the quality of life is better, can I give it by my side." Accompanying", can it really stand the test of "time"?

Maybe "time" itself is not the biggest lie, but the ones you "believe" .

Have we been honest and honest with ourselves?
