reason is treason

Is reason always necessary? If change has the sole consistency in this world, then where does reason enter?

I admit to not being so much of an inquirer, not out of apathy, but out respect to other person's privacy. I figured people will open up if they want to. So I let them all come in on their own free timing, the same way that I was hoping to get treated similarly.

Sadly, most people are just born with high levels of nosiness to the point of irritation on the other end of the conversation. Oftentimes, subtle hints of declining to provide an answer seem to not work. And, if they can't get the juice out from you, they will get it somewhere else, or concoct their own to fill out their need to be filled in.

That's entirely the point I kept my mouth shut most of the time. I figured it's better not to make any sound than have to explain to people who hardly understands the art of listening. Mostly, I only answer with the generic "wala lang" response. But there are times I'm subjected on a radar that refuses to accept or understand those two words, leaving me with no other option but to make a little white lie, or red, or gray at times.

My point is, if you can't get the juice, don't try to squeeze it further. Sometimes, "wala lang" is simply the truth of the matter. You know how it is when you do things out of nothing at all? Well, it happens to me, too. It's called being "random and spontaneous".

But then, there are times when I do lie to get people's noses off my shoulder. That's what you suckers get when you can't get a hint.

I strongly believe I'm not the only one guilty of this. And it makes me wonder over every uttered reason's falseness percentage. I recall one quote from Grey's Anatomy...

"Here's the truth about 'truth': It hurts, so we lie."

So, is reason always necessary?
