Lying experiment: results!

So, to sum up the lying experiment, which I think only I find interesting: I did not lie that much during one week. At least, I did not lie that much given how I defined "lying."

(I recall that I had another lie that week that I hadn't reported. It was that I told my Dad that some of the many articles he had my Mom mail me had not yet arrived; in reality, they had arrived, but I had not read them.)

What does it all mean? Hmm, who knows? In practice, it likely means that I will hop on my high horse without qualms next time it prances by, and continue to trot around the paddock judging others. Maybe I should do the world more of a service and keep track of that behavior.

just the results I expected!

maybe, as an alternate experiment, you could keep track of when people lie to you. and might I suggest that you don't bother to confirm whether they were lying or not. just when you think someone is lying, take note!

you are the arbiter of truth!

I think YSA would have to tread carefully on that. She is a professor, after all, heading into finals.

Best to ignore some of the dishonesty, right?
