Sugar, we're going down

I'm normally a calm person, I can keep my anger in check most of the time and it's not very usual for me to lose my head over something. But there are things that just do it for me, things that hit me straight in a nerve. The most prominent example being people that screw up and then hide behind lies, choosing not to tell the truth, claiming to be such merciful beings that are trying to protect us from the pain that it would cause. And all the while I'm thinking that these people are nothing more than lowly cowards coming up with excuses and ways to ease their conscience about what they've done. What about the ones you're supposedly trying to protect? The truth will come out eventually, they're going to know what you did sooner or later and then it's going to hurt ten times more. Why? Because adding to the suffering brought by disclosing the truth there's the unfortunate bonus of them knowing you lied and that breach of trust can sometimes hurt more than the truth you were so desperately trying to conceal. The problem is that lying is a conscious and premeditated act hence a choice. What's even more sad is how things can be solved if only people have the guts to be honest and admit the truth, yet time after time people rather keep secrets, covering them with lies so that when the time comes there's already so much water in the ship that there's nothing you can do but to watch it sink. Please, don't even try to blame it on the ocean when we both know who sank us.
You did.
