Ask no questions and hear no lies

July 10th, Week 6 Day 1

There are many deceiving people in this world. You hear about mothers murdering their children and children killing their parents or grandparents. When somebody gets murdered the family and close friends are the first suspects and that is for a reason. Loyalty is rare and not to sound paranoid but you can rarely trust your partner.
I always believed in being honest and sometimes I am too honest, especially if I tell somebody how I really feel about them.
There are many instances were I told my friends the truth about their partner and than I was the bad person for telling them that their girlfriend was cheating on them. People ask questions and hope that the answer is what they want to hear. But what happens when the truth is not what you hoped for, what if all your fears seem to be realized. You can always give people the benefit of a doubt but how far are people willing to lie to themselves to keep the illusion alive, the lie that their partner cares about them that they are with somebody that cares about them instead of using them.
I have realized that I do not like to be that person anymore, the friend that becomes the scapegoat because I am the only one that was willing to tell the truth.
So now when one of my friends ask me about anything about their relationship, I will tell them that they should go and ask their partner, but be aware because do not ask any questions if you do not want to hear a lie. Deceiving people are not going to just tell you the truth because you are confronting them. No they will place the blame on everybody else. If they do actually tell the truth because there is no other lie that could cover it up, your feelings may get hurt because it was not what you wanted to hear.
People need to use common sense, if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, than it most likely is a duck.
