Historically Full of Lies

As young students, we grow up trusting academic books and our teachers. We trust that whoever wrote our books was accurate. We trust our ancestors and their experiences. But what if trusting them is a bad idea? What if everything that we have ever been taught about history is a lie? We have no true proof of anything. History is mostly taking people's word for situations that happened. We do not know the true effects of historical events. Someone could have made every aspect of history up and today, we would not know the difference because that part of history has been pounded into our heads so much that it seems so realistic. As students, we could be in a trance of manipulation. History could be a giant mystery.

Deceptive Spouses

In the late 1980's to the early 1990's, marriage was a blessing to a wide number of the population. Although some marriages did not work out, most did and they were faithful relationships. Today, deception is a leading cause of divorce. The act of being unfaithful towards someone is deception. Deception towards a spouse is disrespectful in many ways. If you can't find it in yourself to be honest with your significant other, then you do not deserve to be in a relationship with someone who is giving you all of their time to make the relationship work. Deception can be good and bad. If someone cheats, it is most likely due to the fact that they are not happy in their current relationship. This could potentially be good and bad. This could be good because it could stop the spouse from getting hurt down the road as the relationship gets more serious. This could be bad as well because deception means cheating. Cheating is  highly frowned upon by many people of society, including myself. I despise people who cheat or even consider cheating and that is why I feel so strongly about lying and deception towards a spouse. If you can't find it in yourself to be kind and honest to your significant other, then you do not deserve that human being to be in your life in any way, shape, or form.
