I was talking to LADY MORGANA about an incident where a former neighbor lied about something I said to get a favor done. I explained to LADY MORGANA that what this person did was a LIE. LADY MORGANA replied that everyone lies. I said that if someone commits murder does that give you an excuse to go on a killing spree?
Personally, I try not to lie. Not so much that I am against lying, but because I AM A TERRIBLE LIAR. I would much rather tell the truth and take the consequences than be caught in a Lie which is much worse.
An example I can give is when I was in the UNIVERSITY as a young man a friend said that he could get me in the cafeteria free as they did not check IDs. I protested, but he persisted and he gave me his friend's ID to get the free lunch. My friend said just put the ID face down on the table and the cafeteria lady will let me pass.
To make a long story short, I put the ID down face down, but when she went to give it back, it fell off the table landing FACE UP exposing the nefarious plan as the ID showed a tall blonde haired person with blue eyes when I am shorter, brown hair non blue eye type.
I got a tongue lashing for the lunch lady who was furious and still had to pay, but now I felt really low and guilty about what I had done when I could have just paid the $5 for lunch and had my integrity intact.
Alas.
