This I Believe–Karolyn

Posted by jefferson8 on January 17th, 2008

Who do you believe in? I believe in myself because when you have a friend that you know you can trust and you are depending on that person that person sometimes doesn’t always help you with your problems.  I have put all my beliefs in some people , when I put my trust in people sometimes  they lie to me and don’t help me and that’s when I start thinking, is this really the person I can trust? Hoping this time they won’t lie to me. When I put my beliefs in myself it makes me feel good about myself.

When I do put my beliefs in people, I hope these people aren’t  going to lie to me.  Putting your trust into people is not always easy.  Most of the time most people want to lie to you because they don’t know how to treat others.  Maybe if people don’t lie to others, and believed in themselves, they wouldn’t have a reason to lie to others.

Who do you believe in?  I believe in myself because I am a trustworthy person.  Not lying isn’t always easy because sometimes telling the  truth to a friend  can hurt  their feelings.   I have developed putting trust in my friends, sometimes I would catch them in the middle of the act of lying and sometimes they would get away with it without me knowing the truth.

When I try to lie to my Mom I start talking, she questioning me, I get nervous.  Somehow the truth slips out really fast when I’m not wanting to tell the truth.  Telling the truth is worth getting punished for because if you lie all the time it won’t get you any where.  And it lacks you putting faith into you and your loved ones.

I believe in myself and I have faith in friends and family to tell the truth.  I  THINK YOU SHOULD ONLY PUT YOUR TRUST IN the PEOPLE  that  you  KNOW YOU CAN TRUST.
