                    You're right about truth hurting and there's no help for that. I will forgive a mistake but if treachery is thought of, planned and then carried out, that is unforgivable. The one that does this to me is certainly my enemy. I'm a good friend but I'm a 
VERY good enemy!  Guy

                   Thanks, Strat. I'm bloodied but unbowed, scarred and sad, but much wiser. Everyone is motivated at least 
partly by self-interest and experience makes us question that which wouldn't have occured to our trusting, younger selves.  Guy

                a long time, usually.  Like say, 20 years...

                    I have an old saying,
                
                I'll BS you all day long but I'll never, ever lie to you.
Tall tales and shaggy dog stories are one thing, hurtful, insidious deception quite another.
Hang in there!

                    Re: No lies, ever
                
                    If you knew what trusting a liar did to me, you would understand how motivated I became to NEVER, NEVER make it possible for ANYone else to feel as devastated I did because of a lie 
I told. There are people who deserve an empty life and 
slow painfull death. It will probably 
happen to them because of 
themselves, but 
not because of me! If not, others will have to decide to make it happen. I can't explain it any better than that. It actually 
did change my life because I didn't earn it and didn't deserve it. Usually the hard way is the 
only way to learn. I LEARNED! If there actually 
is an afterlife I'll despise her for a million years after the last star burns out, but nothing will change my decision to not 
ever lie again. Guy

                not one lie? not even one?
