As doctors, we’re trained to be skeptical, because our patients lie to
us all the time. The rule is, every patient is a liar until proven
honest. Lying is bad. Or so we are told constantly from birth—honesty
is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the
cherry tree, whatever. The fact is, lying is a necessity. We lie to
ourselves because the truth, the truth freaking hurts.

And so does what happened to everyone of us. Every single second, we lie, if not to anybody else, we’d be lying to ourselves. While this might be untrue (or even skeptical to some people),yet I experienced this myself. For example, today I skip my lecture telling myself I had a lot of work to be done, which the dateline is already soon…As soon as I’ve arrived, I’d done everything from cooking to taking a nap, except from doing the very work which I used as my excuse to skip the lecture…and still, I lied to myself "It still bright outside, its not even sunset yet",while all the time, my watch pointing at 7 p.m.

This is one of the little lies I had commited almost everyday, and I’m already unaware of it. I dont think u want to know the rest…

But, no matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies
fall away, whether we like it or not.

But here’s the truth about the
truth: The truth freaking hurts. So we lie.

This is one stupid lie. I told myself that if I ate only the chocolate-coloured M&M’s, I’d have a lesser chance of getting cancer.Why? because chocolate is already chocolate in colour, so perhaps they dont use artificial colouring here?
