This world needs a few lies too......

You there?

Hey!! r u busy….

I kept on buzzing and buzzing but there was no reply, so I closed the yahoo window. Fifteen minutes later, suddenly, a window popped up with words…” I’m eating”…yeaaa….she said.

I smiled. It happens after every two three days. Whenever she doesn’t want to talk to me she is either busy or eating or doing something very -very important. I was not amazed cuz I was used to it, it wasn’t a BIG lie, but still a lie is a lie. I thought what if she had said KP ryte now I don’t want to talk to you. It would have sounded rude. So it was just a practical way of saying that I don’t wanna talk to you at the moment.

Even I lie…sometimes ;). We all lie. A person who has not lied, even once, in his or her entire life will be a unique Human. Still to be discovered. Truth and lie, both are equally important. Without lie truth will have no value. And without truth there is no lie. Then why to fuss around. Man can’t live only with truth. He needs lies. He lives through lies. You can go on saying that we all want truth. But the fact is that no one wants truth. And our so-called truths are nothing but lies. Beautiful lies. Try to see the reality. Naked reality.

And what a lie is?? It’s just another form of illusion. And we love and live in deep illusions—illusions of hope, of future, of tomorrow. Nietzsche says somewhere that man cannot live with the true: he needs dreams, he needs illusions, he needs lies to exist. And Nietzsche is true.

Osho said something very interesting about Lies.

Maybe you lied once to somebody, maybe you deceived somebody. So what? This whole life is a drama and we are all actors. And a little bit of cheating is perfectly okay -- it makes life a little juicy, it gives life a little spice! Otherwise everybody telling just the truth....

Just think: if even for twenty-four hours everybody on the earth decides to tell the exact truth, there will be no world -- finished! Just think in your mind: twenty-four hours... everybody telling the exact truth and nothing else... nobody will be a friend to you; you will not find two friends in the whole world. Every couple will be divorced. Children will leave their parents, parents will leave their children. All will be finished! No customers will come to any shop. The world will come to a stop immediately -- nirvana(final emancipation) for the whole world in a single blow!
This world needs a few lies too. It makes life smooth, it helps. Lies are like lubricants.
So... keep eating until you feel stodgy. Cya later. So long…
