A what face ?

While being plopped on the couch and watching TV, I bumped into Reba on Lifetime.

Alright, alright, we know women like to watch Lifetime but so do men.

Anyway, there is this Barbara Jean character who in a gripping situation unveils that her husband has put on a lying face in-front of his ex-wife and other people.

For obvious reasons this bloke is disappointed that, his current wife gave away how his lying face looks like to the rest of the crowd. Now that he cant use that face anymore, he’s stumped. That right there got me thinking…darn ! I’m sure we all have faces, of different emotions, a surprising face, a sad face, and a happy one and on and on, but how does your face look like when u r stating something that is not completely true, well I mean when u lie!

Sure…we all lie…say white lies here and there that are completely harmless and inconsequential. Like the time you call in sick to work, just to relax at home and do a plenty of nothings, or the time u tell ur girlfriend / boyfriend/ husband/ wife that they don’t exactly look fat, it’s just the wrong outfit.

Should we wonder how our face looks like in such situations.

Is this a grim reality we face for being adults or can we get by without a lying face. It’s a catch 22.

what...people lie. no way dude. surely I don't. Even if I did, I do so very convincingly. So you can never tell with me.

Interestingly though, when you keep repeating the same lie, your mind thinks its the truth. I have a friend when we were travelling and got into an accident. The accident happened, because he braked too late, skidded and hit the middle fence of the highway. Police came and told him to not say this but say, some aggressive driver made him go off the road so his insurance is not affected. This friend had to tell this story to Insurance guys, police, court etc that it has become the truth for him. This was two years ago and last time I reminded him of the incident, he does not remember the true story but the one that he has told everyone. Interesting huh??

Ha ha ha...so u told hime to lie and he forgot the very truth, kudo's to you, zaks.

That's another side of the coin, a repeated lie becomes true and a repeated truth becomes a matter of questionable facts !
