To Tell a Lie to Myself, Urself, Everyone

Hey guys!

So i was talking to some of my classmates the other day and a thought came into my head. A thought which focused on lies. Now im not talking about the bad lies, where i tell someone i didn't steal the last cookie out of the cookie jar but did. No no..those lies are unacceptable lies in my eyes. They start small but grow bigger as the web branches out farther. The lie im talking about is the one we never tell ourselves but always manage to tell others. This "lie" is interesting because we tell it to others because we care and don't want them to worry. We lie to them even if we know we are 100% wrong. Yet we never lie to ourselves the same lie.
Ex) Im at work and someone has trouble breathing. I would naturally tell them "Everything is going to be okay"
This is an interesting lie because when you think about it everyone who is listening knows this is not a fact. All i am doing is tell them a lie to calm them. They accept it, and everyone else accepts it.
The other lie i say we don't tell is to ourselves.
Ex) I fall down and have trouble breathing. I don't lie to myself and say "Everything is going to be okay." I usually say, sh*t i better see a doctor or i might die.
I find it interesting that these are acceptable lies in society. I think they are much needed to provide hope and encouragement, but just odd that they exist. Cause often they downplay the seriousness of an impeding situation at hand.

Well random thought for July 20th. Gotta get back to studying danish...again. xp
