5 Signs You Are Being LIED To

How to Recognize a LIE Before it Destroys Your Life

The chances are 110% that you know someone who believes in something you don’t. In fact, everyone of us has “beliefs” in or about something that is not shared by our friends, family, co-workers, whomever.

Children are taught from the earliest of ages to believe in things we know are not true: The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, whatever. We’re taught these things by people we TRUST, typically our parents.

But just because we lie to our kids about such innocuous fables does not make it okay. Yes, our parents lied to us about such things and “we turned out okay”—or did we?

I was a very trusting child who found out that Santa wasn’t real at an embarrassing older age when I should have been told or known sooner. I found out, like most of us do, at school. When I confronted my mother, her response was, “Oh, I thought you already knew—” [that Santa wasn’t real]. She just blew it off. But the event seriously shook my faith and trust in my parents.

Later I would discover that my parents would believe lies themselves, “facts” that weren’t actually true. But they really BELIEVED that whatever church, political party, newspaper, whomever, was really telling them was the truth.
