"Fun" Facts

Last week was a very, very, if I may say, interesting experience. I have been marathoning a TV series and somehow it confirmed and contradicted "very common" facts that we encounter in our everyday lives or in those we encounter by surprise. Take these for example.

Fact #1: Everybody lies. White lies, or honest-to-goodness lies, lies are lies, whether planned or instantaneous.

Fact #2: Everybody lies for a reason. But do you even sometimes wonder why people still lie even if they are dying, or even if they know they will hurt someone?

Fact #3: The most common reason for lying is to protect his/her reputation. Ok, I just made this up... there may be some truth here.

Fact #4: The truth can either make your toes tingle or hurt you in general... either sweet or taste like shit?... bittersweet?

Fact #5: People DON'T change for the better. They just want others to see them they've changed, which brings me back to Fact #1. Once a _____, always a _____. People, however, DO change for the worse! People like me, perhaps?

Fact #6: Revenge can be oh-so-sweet! Yeah... very tempting, but I advise all of you to drop it. Let Him handle it for you, but don't wish for it to be some bad kharma either.

Fact #7: People cheat. Hell yeah, in exams, in careers, in love maybe?
