The Best Free Fun, Deceit, lying

Next week Ricky Gervais will premiere his new film, "The Invention of Lying." Genius concept and it hits a subject humans as a whole are intertwined and truly cannot get enough of. Putting some thought into it, lying may be the world's favorite past time. You may consider yourself an honest person but you lie every day, if not to others to yourself. We deceive ourself into lies such as our dreams will come true, she/he loves me, the Asian/black baby is mine, clouds listen when spoken to, there's a fat baby looking after me, existence is not futile and on and on. Such guff. In fact lying has been around since Pangea. History has shown Johnny the Caveman lied to his buddy Barney about several unattended carcasses beyond the mountains. When Barney left, Johnny grabbed Barney's wife by the hair and dragged her all the way to what is now Canada. Where they spent a-many sizzling nights. Some believe deceit began with a snake telling Adam&Eve to eat the naughty apple, they complied and when the boss asked about his particularly juicy apple they lied. And once you start rolling with a lie its impossible to stop. So, that has snowballed into thousands of years of lying that keeps on rolling strong till' today. Thanks a lot Adam&Eve!

As it has been noted, we love lying. I certainly do, I lie all the time. Even when I don't have to, I do it to keep keen. Thus, the question arises why, after thousands of years (I presume we all believe in evolution) of knowing an inevitable truth; to be lied to and lying is certain, why do we care when it happens and why do we attempt to stop lying or not lie uncontrollably? OK, sure obvious answers are: it's wrong because our conscious stings when we do it or a book I read says it's wrong. But isn't that just trying to control an otherwise amazingly chaotic, fun, random situation? After all truth is relative, however, we do agree in core values and practices. Still, it's fun to think how fun, in an anarchic way, we'd be if lying was not called lying just merely blurbing things along without no need to provide evidence of its validity. I haven't seen many previews for the movie but I suspect for its sheer craziness and free will, it'll b entertaining to watch.
