Liar

So, I was wondering: how honest are we to the people around us?

I have seen myselfe faking so many times. Fake smiles, lying every time someone asked "how are you", making people believe I was happy.

Is that the right thing to do? You'd think it would be better to just be honest with people (well, our friends, I mean. Not any stanger...). But if you look well at it... would it really be good to put the weight of your emotions and your problems over someone else? Somehow, I find it just easier and safer to lie.

And what about how we see people? Can we really see through their desguises, distinguish when somebody is lying and when he's telling the truth? Personally, I believe we only see what people want us to see. The rest is sort of invisible.
