Baby, It's Fact

Yes, I was on a Vogue cover.... On some distant planet.

Did you know that we lie 3 times every 10 minutes? According to Richard Feldman's research, we lie simply because "IT WORKS." What a blunt reason, too. When I was about to read this article, I thought it would be due to some form of brain cell disfunction because not everyone lies. Haha, well I think not. He explains that we lie because lying gives us an advantage vs other people. I guess I never looked at it that way, but I agree. I know I've fibbed here and there to get a better grade on something or whatever. I'm sure I'm not the only one. He goes on, and talks about that lying backfires when used in relationships. Especially if it's from the start. I think relationships can handle "Honey, where'd you put my favourite shirt?" that you secretly threw away because of it ugliness than "Oh yes. I have a Ph.D. in Physical Science." when you never even went to college.Well, at least a majority lying is just to make us feel better. Telling your friends you scored a 96 on that last Chemistry test will make you feel better knowing they believe you than you knowing the truth, which is you miserably failed that test...Anyways, check out the article. It's really great or at least somewhat interesting. You might even find yourself agreeing like I did! :X
