The Cost Of A Data Base Design

The role of the lie

From our earliest childhood we are taught that lying is bad, very bad. All parents would crush phrases as you tell the truth always "or" bad lie ", phrases that are ultimately in themselves, lies.

Because like it or not, every society establishes a belief system beyond its empirical veracity, are accepted as true social (eg, religions). And apart from moral considerations that may sound very nice on paper, in everyday life we \u200b\u200bdeal with levels of truth (or lie, as the point of view).

In fact, young children are the ones who apply the teachings of fathers to the letter. And it is said to be innocent, because you do not learn that there are things that silence is preferable in certain moments. Which is a nice way of saying that have not yet learned to lie. And this is because we are social beings, and all social interaction involves a greater or lesser extent, lie. Otherwise we get angry all the time and the whole world.

Psychology tells us that the ability to lie is a sign of intelligence. So you do the currency and Congress are full of geniuses.

I am struck by the contradiction vital that involves trying to live with the truth in front, in a society that is largely based on consensus lies. And with that I'm not claiming to be a true type (liar would deny my lies) or criticizing the mendacity surrounding just pose the question: If we recognize the lies that underpin much of our lives together how to draw the line? What is the point of balance?

Of course there are situations in which a lie can not break out, as when a woman becomes more tricky question of the universe: Do I look fat? But that's another topic

jajajaja PD: I think those who never finish a sentence saying "...¡ indeed! " Could it be that the rest of the time lying?

Now turn your lie more accurate (animus irĂ³nicus)

Update: For the "square", not advocating moral relativism (what episcopal that phrase!). What I seek criterion is to see that everyone used to draw the line between lies "acceptable" and others. From his heart to the true nature of coexistence.

How To Tie A Double D Belt Buckle

's Room thousand pages

Many times I read the opinions of "experts in education, calling for measures to create reading habits in children. And every time I find him less weight to their arguments.

My dad was a kiosk in the Gran Via My mother was hospitalized after giving birth to my brother, so that I accompanied my dad. A kiosk of 1.5 x 1.5 mts. was almost a prison for a child of 4 years, so I put playing with cigarette packs or whatever came to hand. Until one day my dad, perhaps exasperated by my constant questions, I became a comic. My inexhaustible curiosity found an insurmountable obstacle, could not read. And my dad was too busy on the kiosk, to read me. And so began the long wait, I came to kindergarten with the mind set at 1 ° Basic, because I was told at that level you learned to read. That was my mission, my leit motiv, my obsession. Arriving-1 Basic learned to read in record time. And by the power and magic of reading, that small space of 1.5 x 1.5 is transformed into a gateway to new worlds.

mid 80 ', is nearing the end of the dictatorship. My grandfather Pinochet imposed his iron will in the house where we lived with my padres.Cuando he went to another house, I took advantage to sneak in a piece which he had forbidden us come to me and my brother. That piece, which I christened the room of a thousand pages, was filled with magazines, books, records, photos, two old radios, watches, coats, hats, etc. Given the precariousness of the times, books became my escape route but also a source of learning and inspiration.

So why all the autobiographical racconto? To demonstrate that the taste love of reading is not born product of policies or rules but a concern itself. Of course, the more people have more and better access to the books we can expect a more prepared, more educated and thus less discriminatory. But the love of reading is not taught or learned, at the most inspired.

When my grandfather died, the room of a thousand pages became my bedroom.

Although today there are many options such as Youtube, I do not neglect to read for pleasure in the very act of complicity with the author, imagined worlds and times of others to make them as vivid they become themselves.
