If they decide to step off the edge of the world, I'm letting them. Who knows, they may discover they really can fly.

Of course, I have no idea what "the lie" was but here is my experience: the liar is trying to protect "something", their own fragile self, a situation, a relationship, something and he/she is fearful of losing something. The "lie" becomes a defense, misconstrued as it may be. Maybe even an attempt at comfort, certainly out of fear of discovery and not about "The Issue". It is never "The Issue". It is always "something else"! Fear of losing something almost always turns to anger. I will avoid all of this and not really lie but tell you what I think you want to hear? The real truth is that we never really "know" anyone, we inflict upon them what we want or need them to be. Eventually we discover it was us! We were the ones who lied! We gave power to someone else that they didn't possess! It is our own weakness that we confront and that is where the pain comes from. Like in, why in the hell did I do that??? You will find the truth in your garden!Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122370918663203885.post-62595959225902183242013-06-17T04:38:37.095-05:002013-06-17T04:38:37.095-05:00I have someone in my life who does the same.

You have to do what you have to do, Yvonne. I wish I had more words of comfort but your idea of walling that person in, has merit.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122370918663203885.post-31151780975610271762013-06-16T21:52:56.265-05:002013-06-16T21:52:56.265-05:00Oh Yvonne!

You give people chances and still they screw it up. I hope your planting gives you some peace for awhile.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.com
