The [Truth] thread - Where lies were never invented

the-invention-of-lying_600.jpg

After watching the above movie yesterday, I was inspired to make this little thread here.
Imagine this thread to exist in the world presented in the movie. A world where the human race has never invented the "not-truth". Everything being said or written is the absolute truth. People say exactly what they feel and think at all times.
I would like to try and emulate this inside this thread. Now, obviously, people may not want to be 100% truthful using their forum name but would still like to say exactly what they are thinking. For this, just send me an email to Klyka@online.de and I will post your message anonymously.

Here are the rules again:
-This thread is about the truth and only the truth.
-Everything goes and will be treated as the truth. Lies were never invented so they do not exist.
-Discussion between people is encouraged but you can also just share thoughts or stories that stand on their own or which you wanted to get off of your chest.

Let's see how this goes!
Enjoy!

    I'm a 27 year old male German who is bored at work and decided to start this thread because I really liked the movie I mentioned above and would like to have the thread become big and funny so I can see it all over the "Awesome Posts" forum.
    You can trust me because I am known to be a trustworthy person and I would never act careless with personal information of others especially not if I know that a fuck up here could cost me my personally perceived positive perception in this community.

    There is no concept of "truth" because there is no "lie".
    What he said does not mean anything, hence my question "What is truth?".
    In the world the thread represents there is no truth. There just is.

    No one so far has even tried to contribute something close to a confession.
    My email is in the OP if anyone wants to do it.

    I didn't really like that movie.

    Neat premise but it got super exploitative and preachy near the end.

    I think this thread is a neat idea though.

    I thought the movie in itself was ok-ish film but the premise of a world where the concept of "not truth" doesn't even exist and the effects of a man who could conjure up this "Not truth" was pretty well done, especially at the start.
    I basically loved the first 20 minutes and then liked the rest.

    Momdad you were never there for me but I still had a longing in my heart to meet you.
    I don't really love you but I think we should try and form a bond in the future because this reminds me of a movie I once saw and I'd like to emulate the tearful reunion scene from it.

    I really hate social media.

    Sometimes I just want to talk to someone, and actually, listen their conversations, face to face. The problem with this is that I want this at my convenience. Sometimes I think about being a therapist, but my entire motivation would be to listen to people talk and occasionally giving feedback. That is my antistress therapy. It makes me feel engaged and useful. Its really quite selfish.

    And because social media makes that awkward, I guess I hate it? Its also because I'm hopelessly stubborn about new technology.

    I actually think twitter has much greater potential for direct interaction, but I can't think of anything in my life worth tweeting. I quite like following other interesting and funny people though.

    I'm fucking over Facebook and only keep it around for people organising parties really. Between Skype and things like steam and origin chat, I've got no reason to engage with people on Facebook. It doesn't help that the iPhone app is just fucking horrendous

    What I will say in defence of Facebook is that it's nice to have easy access to photos of people who've passed away. It's a bit morbid but it's been great to be able to go and look at old photos and posts relatively easy.

    Twitter is great but I wouldn't ever follow friends or celebrities just to read them dribble shit.

    facebook is a photo album pretty much exclusively for me, I really do not care what people I went to primary school with think about anything.

    facebook chat can be handy for keeping in touch with folks you actually want to keep in touch with though.

    Facebook is pretty much a glorified chat client to me.
