liar, liar pants on fire...

I get how some people lie on a job interview, or to finagle their way into getting something...stretching the truth if you will. Not that I think that's particularly right. But it happens.

But lying to someone's face who you supposedly respect and value? Not to mention during a conversation in which you are purging yourself of a truth you have withheld for far too long. Who would do this? And why would anyone put up with it.

I am a forgiving person, I don't hold grudges. And I forgive you. It doesn't mean I have to be friends with you anymore. Why would I do that to myself when I have plenty of people out there who DO respect me and value my friendship?

Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice? I don't think so.
