Secrets

Secrets can be dangerous. What do people keep behind closed doors? Secrets can damage peoples lives and destroy families. What if one day you wake up and find your self living in someone else's lie? Secrets are not part of my mental makeup. But, every Mom knows little white lies can save a whole lot of time when you are dealing with toddlers and preschoolers. For the record I do my best to be honest with my kids even when it comes to the What is this question? I would never want to build a myth to big to follow. Secrets are feed to us on a daily bases! With advertising and sensational TV shows and those secrets almost justify the lie. We yearn for a life of normality and routine. I think lying is part of being human. It's not like we lie not to hurt people's feelings. We lie unconsciously. We use lies to cover when we arrive late to work or when we did not pay a bill on time. We tell ourselves lies to make life less shocking and hard to understand. Everyone is lied to and some lies are more damaging than others.
