When I was young, about 13-14 years old, some friends invited me to go with them and skip school for a walk during classtime. We didn't want to do anything special, maybe just have a hot chocolate, or something like that. However, we wanted to feel rebellious.
I was upset because I had never lied to my mother, and she is a person with a strong personality. In her defense, I have to say, that my father was always traveling. So, my mother had to take both roles (father and mother), which must be very hard for a woman with four children.
Anyway, I had never lied to her, but I wanted to try. During some days I was thinking if I ought to tell her the truth or not. On the other hand, if I told her the truth, probably she would have told me that I had to go to the school. Finally I decided not to tell her the truth.
I felt terrible that afternoon. The pressure in my heart was huge. My head had a terrible pain. My stomach was upset. I think it was the first time I felt stress.
When I arrived at home nobody knew about my adventure. Nevertheless, I felt worse phisically and psicologically. Finally, I decided tell my mother the truth and finish with the suffering.
Surprisingly, nothing happened with her, and I was all night crying.
I learned that I couldn't support the weight of a lie.
Your story is similar to mine. I learned a lesson too, and didn't lie much after that!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you have not never lied to your mother. I really understand what you say. It is a kind of unknown feeling which you can not tolerate.
ReplyDeleteI think we have the same situation when I was young. We always want to try something what we never done before, but we cannot feel better when we do it. And to be a honesty person is very important, even though we all made the same mistake.
