052. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

As big of a fan as I am of being a warrior of all that is blunt I think that being anonymous is a bunch of bull. You have something to say, say it with a face, a name. Otherwise you're a faceless liar, rather than just being a liar. Did that hurt your feelings? It shouldn't. Everybody lies.

The appointment book is looking slim again. Cough. Cough. Do we have to do this every time? I'll come around with my white coat and shake a can for annoying patients. Ick.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to EDEN

Open up your presents.

Can you believe that she didn't want to tell anyone? Peppermint Patty can be so surprisingly shy.

...But if they'd been honest from the beginning, why would they suddenly start lying once they were anonymous?

You don't get it. When no one can catch you in a lie, and there is no visible consequence, lying is easy. There's no guilt. There's no proof or connection to you.

But there's no reason to do it, either, is there...? I mean, people lie to protect themselves... there's no need to do that if nobody can find out who 'themselves' are.

People lie to protect other people, to hide, to be mean, to be rude... it isn't simple. And there is freedom and release when you lie and there is no way of getting caught.
