Don't Lie To Me

Everyone is doing their free blog posts this week and I am very tempted to do mine as well, but I think I will do my blog post.

I know everyone is starting to get lazy because we're at the middle of the semester and we feel like we've done so well already that we can afford to slack off a little. Well, i'm trying really hard not to do that. So here goes...

In class last week, we discussed that actions speak louder than words. I never really thought about that, but they do. For example, my ex boyfriend told me he loved me all the time, but he never showed it. He was just going through the motions of being a "good" boyfriend. Well, my current boyfriend tells me he loves me too, but I know he's telling the truth because of the way he looks at me, the little things he does for me, the way he treats me, and the way he never seems to talk to me enough:) The eyes really are the window to the soul because you can see when a person is being honest with you and when they aren't. Even though love is difficult to describe, you can see it in someone's eyes.

Compliments are very similar. Someone can tell you that you are beautiful, but when you look in their eyes you can see what they really feel. If the person giving the compliment is lying, it can be very hurtful. I know for me, I wouldn't be so upset that someone called me beautiful but really thought I was ugly. I would be more upset that the person lied to me. Lying is definitely one of my pet peeves and hurts me more than anything.

This may be different with some people because not everyone is gifted in discerning different aspects of daily life. This is just my take on things:)
