Adulting is a lie

    There was a time in my life when I thought that adults had their shit together. You hit 18 years old and then you automatically knew what to do. But it turns out that that doesn't happen. Granted, through my experiences, I know more now than I was a kid. I am able to keep calm in situations now that I would not have been able to handle then. That being said, I'm still the same person I was when I was 15, there was no instant change that made me grow up. I am winging it through life just like everyone else.  It's not age that allows you to handle things, it's experience. People who you think have their life figured out, because they can handle situations that you can't, might not be able to handle something that you can. There isn't really any relationship that I could have with one person be impacted by this,  but it can allow you to see that even though somebody is struggling now with a certain aspect in their life, they might be better equipped to handle something else in a different situation.

I understand that there are always improvements that can be made and the skill sets that I have, but I don't necessarily need to focus on any particular skill, because those skill sets will improve organically and naturally over time as they are used.

Final blog, Liar

"lying is a cooperative act", necessitates the purposeful making of a false declaration and the declaration being believed as true.  I'm not sure if I totally agree with her about this, while we should be cynical about some things we see or hear if it comes from someone who should be trustworthy it's not necessarily our fault if we believe it. for truth number two, I would say society is against lying but the individual is covertly for it. On the more macro scale in society, lies undermine our societal structure. For the individual, lies can be used for gain.  Some techniques to spot Liars are to be cynical and fact check. We should want to learn these techniques so we have a better understanding of the world around us.  Honesty is worth preserving, it is necessary for us to keep faith in our fellow humans.  Create societal change about lying is to first punish those who are in journalistic or governmental positions, harshly for any disinformation they spread.
