Liberty In Lie??

You are in a relationship, your partner is honest, loving and caring. You decide to lie to them, cheat on them with others that are as low as you, or maybe not, who knows. Every time they tell you they love you, you say it back, but you feel uncomfortable, because you probably don't mean it, and even if you do, you know they deserve better because you know a side of yourself that they don't. Even if you choose to never admit. When they ask questions, you lie, and toward yourself, you justify your lies, hoping to never get caught. And maybe you will never get caught, but you will be the architect to your own misery, eventually. 

You go to school, you don't pay attention in class, your parents have paid so much, they have sacrificed so much for you, but you don't take your work seriously. You are spending more time promoting clubs than going to the library, and every time you speak with your parents you tell them everything is good. You know this is a lie. Alas, you fail, now you have to repeat the year, but you cannot claim responsibility for your actions, and what do you do, blame it on someone else, an innocent somebody. To you, you may have dodged a bullet, but you must have missed Jolie's wanted, because that bullet is curving right back. 

Your job, contract says 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, you sign it, you get your salary every month, you have your task assigned, but what do you do, use the company's internet to go on twitter and ramble on, neglecting the task at hand. Your boss comes, you minimise the screen, pretend to work, and repeat the same process as often as you can. When home, you find a way to demonise your boss and paint yourself as the most hardworking person to grace earth. You cannot expect to maintain the status quo. Life will catch up to you. 

How depressing is life today, God is certainly not cruel, He gave us freewill, we must remember. We complain about the state of the earth, but we forget, we, humans make up the earth and it is a collection of our habits that result in the state we find ourselves. An honest person will certainly not suffer as a dishonest man would.

But we wont even know true suffering if we saw it, I guess that is what makes us so comfortable with being dishonest in our affairs with people and life.
