Whats behind door number one?

We've all experienced it and some of you may be guilty of it: people who lie. Both in life and online lying is a disease that has plagued human kind since the beginning of time. Now, in the Blackberry age we are introduced to the cyber liar. There are many reasons to lie. One may lie about their age to chat with a younger person (or maybe someone they think is younger), their appearance, their job, I can go on and on.


The problem with this is the fantasy world where BlackBerry Messenger exists is that many people get caught up in the lies. The ideal person is created and for some, emotion becomes a factor. Why is it so important for the human race to feel a sense of acceptance? There are many superficial reasons why people want to be liked. The important thing is to keep a level head. This of course is easier said then done. Many times, a person must fall at their own hand in order to understand this concept. It falls back on the tried and true example of our parents giving us advice. How many of us actually take it? I for one did not. I have managed to do everything in my life almost backwards. The positive thing is I have done it, but not without making it an uphill battle with every accomplishment. So listen to my advice when I say proceed with caution. There are some great people out there but one can never be too careful.
