What happened to originality and creativity?
I downloaded another album by Delerium called "Chimera" and was listening to it on the way to work this morning. One of the pieces entitled "Eternal Odyssey" surprised me.

I know someone that at various times in our relationship has talked about having a Bachelor's degree. However, the story keeps changing about the field in which the degree was awarded. Everytime the story changes I wonder just how stupid this person thinks I am.
If you're going to lie, cheat, steal, or otherwise show your amoral tendencies the least you can do is keep your story straight!
I think a lot of what goes into dishonest behaviors is a sad lack of self-esteem. All too often a person with a bad self-concept tries to cover for it by creating a false front to hide behind. In some people this fantasy becomes so real that I think they actually (almost) convence themselves that it is true.

I think however, that many folks are too reliant on external sources to boost their self-esteem. Sometimes self-initiative can be a big boost to one's self. For example, if your friend doesn't have a degree and feels insignificant about it; rather than lying about it, they should go out and achieve that goal. Sure, it may be a slower and more arduous means of self-gratification, but it is more solid and tangible. Temporary positive feedback from others is a hollow victory, especially when you don't truly respect yourself. Also, while it's great to be your own best friend, make sure you aren't your own "Yes Man" for questionable decisions.
