Ugly Little Liars

It is truly repulsive as to what disgusting little liars we all are, and by all I mean EVERYONE! I don't think I have ever met a truly honest person; I know I'm certainly not one. We demand so much of everyone else when it comes to truth, but we lie daily if not to others than to ourselves, and especially through our silence. Just because we didn't say it, doesn't make it any less of a lie. We hold things back all the time, when we know we shouldn't, when we know it isn't right.

We will do and say anything to get the things we want or to hide those not so pleasant truths about ourselves. Mostly we lie 'to protect other people's feelings'; that is the biggest lie of all. We are simply trying to save ourselves from the re-precautions that come with our bad behaviours; we just want to not have to suffer the consequences of our actions.

I speak of others, but I am the biggest offender. I see what is right, yet do nothing to make the change within myself. Currently this has been the hardest truth to swallow; to see myself for the monster that I am. They say that change is possible, but I don't know about this particular behaviour as I've never seen genuine truth. I've never seen anyone just speak the truth, without being prompted or because they were caught in a lie and were thus forced to confess.

Are human beings even capable of total honesty? Is this thinking pessimistically or is this just being a realist? How can I expect honesty and truth, when I'm not willing to give it myself. It hurts not to believe in the existence of genuine honesty, but how can I believe when looking in the mirror only reinforces it's absence?
