Liar Liar

Wikipedia defines lie as “an untruthful statement made to someone else with the intention to deceive.” To lie is to say something one believes to be false with the intention that it be taken for the truth by someone else. Small, harmless white lies we all usually have to tell. But I am amazed how much a person can lie, can he/she fake his entire life, looking into your eyes, bluntly, and you don’t see even a slightest shame in their eyes. A slightest doubt that they might be lying..

I have a travel companion. Usually, a lot of sharing is done when you travel together regulary. So when she started to tell me about her life, I thought, yaar she has a very good life, masters in engg., a good husband (with a VERY high pay), two beautiful children, her own well paid job..her life was a like a dream many dream about. Just one glitch, she had to live away from her husband, but they frequently visited one another. So it was a picture perfect story. And looking at her, and the way she used to tell all these things in your eyes with utmost confidence, that you wouldn’t even think that she is lying. But as time went by her stories became very exaggerated. Then you start doubting, is this all true. Can this fairy tale be really real?? And then I found from her friend, that she actually isn’t married only!!!

I haven’t confronted about this to her. But as of now I m not really taking into consideration of whats true and what false. If she wants to live in a life of fantasy, I cant deny her that. But what amazes me is, this lying thing. If I say a lie, people will immediately catch me. I agree, I m not that good liar. But for faking your entire life, you need to have a dam good confidence. For me, the guilt of lying is a question, my conscience would not allow me to fake my life, and that also for no good reason. God only know, why do people do such things..

Believe In Love

Say, you are in a serious relationship for a while, a year or two. You really love the opposite person, and things are going on great, but then there are fights also, ugly fights. You can’t leave him, cause he is the love of your life and you know that he is the one for you, but you can’t stay as well. Well..if you are an impulsive person like me, then you might have once thought that it might have been better that you two didn’t meet in the first place, that the things haven’t started, you just want to disappear from their life. or just erase them from your memory as a young lady named Clamentine thought of doing.

But will this work??? Just imagine forgetting every wonderful moment you had together with the person you love the most, forget the smallest jokes you cracked together, the tears you cried, the fights you fought that made you even more closer, the long talks you had.. Forgetting the life you shared. Thinking just from the selfish aspect, you are forgetting half of who you are. And I am just not beginning to tell you what void and emptiness you would cause in the opposite person’s life.

That is the essence of the movie, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. A movie I would recommend to every person who believes in true love.
