If I Was Invisible

If I could become invisible what would I do with those powers? Would I use them to sneak into a ladies restroom maybe? I think not, the idea of waiting in the bathroom for what may be hours amidst the overweight women and the not so attractive ones for a lady that is actually worth the effort to waltz in, and then what? Would I wait for her to find a stall and peek in to only be disgusted and possibly nauseated at what I see? I think not there must be a better use for such great powers, could I maybe cheat on the important test coming up? Still not such a good idea even though I would probably ace the test I would not know how to do any of the work myself after that and would have therefore wasted my time. What a conundrum this is trying to find a worthwhile use for these powers, could I spy on people maybe? The only problem is I am not the type to sneak around and wait for maybe even a fragment of information that has no relevance to me or that I couldn’t have found out from searching on Google. The only good use I see for these powers so far is playing pranks. You could pull the worst, most daring, and most embarrassing pranks ever, now that sounds more like it. If I could ever turn invisible I would turn the place upside down and no one would ever know who did it.

Why People Lie

Why do people lie? A question that has been asked numerous times over the course of history is it hardwired into human behavior or is it just a bad habit that people can get rid of. Some people lie to make themselves look good, for instance a guy may lie about what he does for a living to get with the girl at the bar. This only leads him to have to lie again when the lady starts asking questions like “if you make as much as you say you do what’s with this car”? Other people lie because they don’t want to hurt others feeling or they think that it's just easier to tell a little white lie. For instance if your wife asks you if she’s getting fat every man in his right mind know to say “no honey of course not” even though its clearly obvious that she’s packing on the pounds, she may even know it too but just wants some comfort. Some people lie for money they con you into buying something that’s supposed to do this wondrous task and it ends up breaking down on you in 2 weeks but what do they care they already have your four payments of nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents. So the question resurfaces why do people lie you ask? They lie to fulfill their own personal goals and aspirations in life no matter what the cost or they lie to keep from sleeping on the couch at night.
