I don't remember saying that DRMO, but how can you lie all the time and be true to yourself. At the very center of every person in his/her most natural state, is their soul, and their soul or spirit is all about truth. If you ever tell a lie, like telling someone they look good today, when you think they look terrible, you're lying, and compromising yourself to some degree. It was your decision to tell the lie. You can say, 'well I didn't want to hurt their feelings,' but you may have underestimating their ability to take criticism. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

A huge amount of actions are learned, not instinctive. Pretty much the only external movements that we have which we don't have to learn to some extent are how to breath, how to blink, how to suck a teat (oooh yeah!) and how to make grumpy noises when we're hungry.

Telling someone they look good when they look bad...is a matter of opinion..because they might not look bad to the rest of the world..just to you..so its your opinion of them...

Point taken. And learned.

There is a difference between pretending to be someone else and curbing your behavior to fit in with what society would consider at least "okay".

What you are basically saying is, if some guy masterbated on a bus all day and did nothing else, no one should get mad at him because he's being real to himself. So whenever you get the urge to masterbate, if you don't whip it out and start doing it wherever you are, you are being fake, because you are going against your own feelings. Same with sex.

In the example I clearly stated that sometimes people will tell someone they look good, even though, in the stater's mind they don't look good. Maybe no one is fake out where you live, if you don't agree with that.

I am not saying that there is no such thing as "fake"..there obviously is..fake flowers, fake food, fake wood..etc...

People define things based what they know...that makes definition different from person to person.

Are you saying you don't believe people lie in their daily situations, and anything that could be perceived as a lie is merely a difference of opinion from one person to the next?

Duke is past their era. Their Era was with Reddick.
And Ohio State is one step closer to winning. Greg Oden<3
