Should we tell our children Fairy Tale lies? Should we share stories of damsels in distress, glass slippers, pumpkins that turn into coaches? Are we setting our children up for a fall when we tell them that good always triumphs over bad? What about "honesty is the best policy"?
Our children are suffering whether we acknowledge it or not. I don't understand some people. In an uproar over the debt ceiling , claiming that we are robbing our children of a "future", they demand conservative spending now. Our school system is broken, our youth are out of control and "we" demand to balance the budget.
A lie is still a lie I don't care how it sounds. That lie may be ever so soothing to your ear, but it is still a lie.
The "Casey Anthony" trial has captured my attention. I watch it and scream at the TV. I know Casey Anthony. I am very intimate with her. My "mother" is a Casey Anthony, the ultimate narcissist, a pathological liar. An uncaring monstrosity. A liar caught in a loop.
She is lying because she is too cowardly, too evil, too selfish to ever admit the truth. Casey Anthony is in a self induced "coma". Encased in her own world of perfection she refuses to leave. It is beautiful there. She is the beautiful princess there. No one dislikes or criticizes her there. She is perfect there.
"Stubborn as a mule", "bullheaded", rigid, intractable. There is no use. You will never reach her. It will not happen in this world. She is too ashamed. She earned a past that no man can claim. It is too foul.
You do what you can to make sure that it never happens to you. Teach your children to always tell the truth no matter what. Do teach them that "honesty is the best policy".
