Slices of Life

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.” Walter Scott

They say the only two things we can count on in life are death and taxes. I’d like to add one more. Deception.

We all lie. Not as in a supine position of the couch or bed, but as providing false or incomplete information in order to information that is less than truthful.

Lies are not inherently bad. Far from it.

“Does this make my butt look fat?” is a lie in the making. To respond otherwise would be detrimental to futures of the asker and the responder.

So we tell lies - little white ones.
