Many believe that it is human nature to make up stories, embellish and tell tall tales. Indeed it appears that these folks who say this are right, it must be human nature, because it is getting harder and harder to get a straight answer out of people? Maybe it is all this political correctness that people have just given up on the truth, instead a perceived or contrived truth will do just fine? If you think about this for a second; "It is human nature to propagate!" Sure especially in groups, government agencies (as they defraud and misrepresent) and such. And Monkeys do this too (sometimes the same). Monkeys in observation use deception to mislead to allow them selves a better helping of a meal by crying wolf, when their pecking order does not allow for what they desire in the amounts they desire. It seems deception, camouflage, hunting tactics are innate in most all species on Earth and I suspect as we learn of life elsewhere we will see more of the same. It might be interesting if we all might move beyond that someday. So, does that make lying okay? No, because we have agreed to live by certain rules in society. It would be best for all concerned to be a little more honest, have a tad bit more integrity and perhaps, just maybe turn down the BS a notch or two. Indeed that my friends would be the best for all concerned. Think on this in 2006. |
