Lies for Children

On my own I came to realize something during my silent walk home from school (high school). That thing was it only makes sense in this world, to tell the truth about everything. In order to solve all problems people have with one another on a day to day basis. No lying, except for little white lies (no that dress doesn't make you look fat honey...). I started to realize that the "level and equal playing grounds" or "equal opportunities" were not as available as my parents or teachers would preach and brag about.

I didn't like hearing the lies about how everyone is equal, that is blatantly false. Then there are the "freedoms" we have in the US that are not real. I don't like how children are fed bullshit about being able to do what ever they want in life. It simply isn't true, no one is equal. It is about who you know and how high up they can take you, or the color of your skin, your religion, sexual preferences etc...

The people who would tell me not to judge a book by its cover were wrong, they preach it, but in life this is a major practice by all people. Professionally or unprofessionally these things happen around us. You can't stop peoples' interpretation of you and you can't make everyone happy either. The current truth is, this is a white rich man's world. The people with the money make the decisions and everyone else fights over the scraps.

I never liked hearing, what other people think doesn't matter. Bullshit, it matters because other people's perception of you mainly determines your success. Lets not lie to ourselves. I can give some real simple and basic examples, black people still get a bad wrap because of the color of their skin. They might look intimidating. It isn't fair that people ID black people and fear them immediately. Everyone does that to me too, they look at me and think I am a terrorist when I don't shave for two weeks. To perpetuate the issues, my girlfriend of 6 years is black (I am not black) and people see her with me and think we are a muslim couple (I am not muslim, I was raised jewish, now I am athiest). So from the examples I just gave, you can already see that no one is equal. Those are examples of other people dreaming shit up and judging books by their covers.

In life there are some winners and a whole lotta losers. -GC

Here is a simple lie, this is not harmless, telling children about santa or jesus. They aren't real, they are mechanisms used to discipline children.
