Why do we live a Big Lie?

Dexter, I missed your tv show, which I am glad the new season just started. I never knew you also wrote questions, long rambling stream-of-conscious questions, In YA. Go kill someone, I am sure everything will be fine then.

Definitely. Especially people that lie a lot. The easiest way to keep track is to believe that everything actually happened. I used to lie like crazy when I was a teen, to stand out and be impressive and seem more interesting. I stopped a long time ago because there is no use in it. When l think back though, I still sometimes have to think REALLY hard to remember the truth and what actually happened because I did such a good job of convincing myself of my own lies. Very sad.

Well! is all I can say, I believe most of this I knew, but the Bomb is another thing. I think that most people accept this however they don't allow it override their minds and continue with their daily lives, but how can we be saved from this is the question? Since the beginning of time of Adam and Eve there has been a thing called denial of God and his rules, and since that time there has been death, pain, and suffering. As a person I would want to think that at some point mankind would all get together especially the leaders of the world, and call out Merciful Father in Heaven help us, but I doubt it. First we have this issue with Jesus being the son and if he really existed, then there is people who worship Buddha, then there are the Islamics who pray to the temple in the east to Mohammad. Then theres this religion Called Yoruba with many Gods. then the Indiana's The Catholics etc..... Therefore there can not be any peace. Therefore Jesus is coming back to separate the Goats from the sheep. Until that time comes there is going to be that confusion you wrote about, yet humorous Then you wonder why the lie. By the way I like how you wrote that consider writing a book.

It is easy to see, or believe that all life is like that . . . it isn't.

Life is good, or, if it wasn't at least good in proportion to bad it wouldn't exist because ours is the only species capable of making itself extinct. So far someone says "no" when we get to that point.

is it ignorance to think like this?

Would you save a baby who is about to fall into a well, or, at least, be afraid for it? All humans, instinctively, feel this way (even the ones who, after thinking about it would laugh).

If they tell you life is Hell they are doing it for a reason . . . stop listening and start looking around yourself, not through the glass window of the television, or the written word, or the gossip and the real ignorance of isolation, but through your own experience, your sight, and your own heart. If you are one of the people in your scenario, break the chain.

Its called a 'civilization' and all of those individual things you listed are the 'memes' or rules/beliefs that make up civilization. Over time the memes change and so does our civilization. One example is the meme that people with dark skin and curly hair were inferior to people with light skin and straight hair. That meme, and all of its dependent memes are changing. It will be decades until the memes change entirely.

You are not a slave to the memes of your civilization! You do not need to do all of the things you think are wrong. The people who want to follow the memes won't be too happy with you but, here's the thing, if your collection of memes works well for you AND you are able to convince other people to follow your memes, more or less, than you will have your own sub civilization.

Good luck.

I believe that people live in the way that they do beacuase poeople want to be happy. Collectively our society seems to believe that to be happy you must be married, not overweight, have a nice house get a good job etc. These days people are so concerned with what makes them happy that no one even takes the time to help each other anymore. People believe the lies that goverments tell them because they want to fell secure i think that alot of people in the back of the minds think that our government has been lying to us and does not have our best interest at all in mind for us. People in America are so complacent they dont seen to care what their government is doing in their names all over the world, Its crazy that we are so manipilated as a population. I think somepeople know the lies and are happy accepting them becuase they feel secure, and buy into the governments propaganda.

u seem disturbed a bit but i dont think life is a "lie" this is how we do things on the western side of the world. If you choose to live differently then thats your choice only close minded people will shun you . But the family is an institution we need it in society the whole american dream its what you do ith your family that counts what you gave us was a scenario. i understand your case but your argument is very loose

The simple answer is that the majority of the world is simply not ready to wake up. To do so would mean having to accept that each one of us is "God". Which would also mean taking responsibility for that.

So instead, we have chosen (allowed) the lie to perpetuate for the past 12,500-odd years. But now, guess what? Like Sleeping Beauty, (or Neo) we are finally awakening and going 'hang on a minute, something's not right here'...

Whos not open and accepting of it? The politicians? They aren't because they r in it for the money, same with dr.'s etc.....they r the people that know the truth the absolute most and they definitely dont want the poor to know how hard they work to keep them down.

Lots of people are aware that we are living a lie. Reality bites, eh..? I guess all one can do is try to live as logically & happily as possible.

Make your 'little corner of the world' as comfortable & serene & happy as possible. It is pointless to attempt to 'change the world' - and not worth the frustration ; - )

Relax, eat, drink & be merry - we are only visitors here. And for so very brief a time.
