This morning when you passed by someone at chruch or at work or maybe at the unemployment office and greeted that person. More than likely you lied to them. And more than likely they lied to you. Are you ok with that? When I figured this out a few years ago I wasn't ok with it.
How we as Americans lie every dayand we are so used to it we don't even notice. Then we discipline our children for lying to us. Yet they see us lie so often and it does go into their minds.
Did you know that lies are not just statements? They are questions as well. If a child is about to be caught in something wrong and they ask a question that missleads the situation away from them, is that not a lie? Now you can see the potential of a lying question. And this is where you are just as guilty as your children. Did you ask someone how they were this morning? Did you really want to hear about what was going on or did you lie? Mean what you say say what you mean. Next time you ask a person how they are inform them that you expect on honest answer.
