.::.LIARS

It is normal to find people who lie, everywhere. Whenever you face one you need to keep up with that. Some of them create imaginary stories to impress you, and even though you know it is not real, he is convinced about it. Each and every story is presented as a real and existent event that of course it happened to him.The problem is not that the people tell you their personal problems but the fact that they communicate everything without thinking if you believe them or not.One time, I met a friend who told me had a big problem with some money I had lent him. I couldnt refuse the invitation or moan about it. Certainly, he created a story as an excuse so as not to pay me back. I couldnt believe he was using a card of an organization which was supposedly able to help him, F.E.P. Who knows what does it mean? Or even worse, what was it? Anyway, I did not believe him.Five days later a friend of mine, Sarah, told me unexpectedly that John was on a vacation with his colleague Flora E. Peterson.
