When Lies Are Better Than The Truth II: Lie To Me By Johnny Lang

One of my earliest posts was about the times when people prefer lies to the truth.  I remember using the song "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac for that post.  I wrote about it because sometimes the truth is so cruel.  It gets so cruel that we don't want to hear it anymore and would rather have someone whisper some sweet lie into our ear just to make us feel better.  Since I'm blogging about sweet lies I'm Johnny Lang's song "Lie To Me" for this post.

Sometimes the truth can be very over-bearing.  It gets to the point that you don't want hear it anymore.  There are times when you want to retreat to some place where you'd rather hear good things even if they aren't true.  You savor every minute and even if it is a lie you don't care because you've had enough of the truth which only brings you grief. Sometimes we can all use a little flattery to get us through the day.

Still, we can't stay in lala land forever.  Once we had our fill of the lie, we have to face the truth no matter how ugly it is.  Hopefully, we'd be able to turn things around.  Once we do, then we don't have to listen to sweet lies anymore.  But until then, a sweet lie can sometimes be better than the truth just don't get stuck in it.
