i did my homework.

i cleaned my room.

i like your haircut.

no i didn't cheat on you.

lies are so easy. i lie a lot. but they're just little lies. i tell my mom i went for a run. i tell my friend i'm busy and i can't hang out. i tell my teacher that i did the summer reading. am i a bad person for that?

i don't want to be a bad person. i don't want to be a liar. everyone lies. that doesn't mean everyone is a bad person. but what if these small white lies i tell so easily now, turn into bigger lies when i'm older? what if they get me fired? divorced? sent to jail?

that probably won't happen but it's scary to think about.

i wonder how the world be if no one could lie. it's like in the movie, liar liar. the main character cannot tell a lie for a day and it messes a lot of things up for him. imagine if that went for everyone. would the world be better or worse? area 51 could be exposed. more divorces because of affairs. a shit ton of kids in trouble for not doing homework or cleaning their room.

it would definitely make everyone a lot more blunt. we couldn't make excuses to not hang out with our friends. we would just have to say "sorry, i don't want to hang out" which may even be better than lying. i don't know. this is stupid.
