Its a world full of people. More than that, however, its a world full of lies, acts, and charades. The number of people in the world doesnt help make the number of the latter get any smaller. Deception is a trait that the animal kingdom developed to protect itself from danger, or to give itself an edge in unfavoruable circumstances. Yet, humans seem to have perfected the art.
Its visible everywhere. Nobody is true, or honest. Everyone has their own agenda to propagate. This just makes life worse for all affected. After all, does there exist a philanthropic liar? One who lies so that everyone else is better off than before? If you find him/her, please introduce me to them. I'd want to know more about such a person.
Lies, untruths, fibs, stories, conveniences, the unsaid. Call it what you will, if you are not sharing information, you are deceiving others. People will argue that deception can be good in some circumstances. I agree. Its the same way vaccines are good for us. Small doses of the real thing protect us. Too much of it can kill us.
Deception or maintenance of privacy? Another point to ponder. Friends may ask, friends may question; but if its private, it need not leak. Just dont make stories. Whats the point in that?
The act. Something everyone has perfectted. People here are like onions. They have so many layers, that if u keep peeling them away, u'l never find a pith. Or if you do, its rather small, and useless. Pretense is something that is always visible.
Sometimes, just sometimes, deception may just save the day.. if only to hide the fury.
