I was listening to a song which had the title that I gave to this entry. The song is about the situation in America in the 1990's. The song is a bit old, but I think the message is still the same. Now you're probably wondering what this has got to do with work. Honoustly I have no idea. If you have any, please let me know through a comment or something like that. I just thought it's a funny title and well in fact there might be some thruth in it. Only how do you know if you have real eyes to realise the real lies that are being told to you by all kinds of institutions and information services? It's a difficult question to answer, and I don't think I know the right answer. It will probably be a different answer for everyone, since everyone has their one true version of things that happened, happens or will happen. I think I'm still a bit naive sometimes, I believe people that they are telling me the truth when they want something for me. Companies like insurance of finance companies usually call you up at dinner time to sell you their products. They always say they are the best, cheapest, truthfulliest or whatever they want you to believe that they are. They talk about changes in legislation thay could effect my finacial future. I usually have no idea if thise changes are true, or will effect my financial future, so I sometimes believe them in telling me the truth. But as I have learned along the way, they usually aren't completely honoust with you, they just want to suck you into their client-database. And after you being sucked into, it's damn hard to get out again. So I think I still don't have the real eyes to see their real lies.

Even though I don't know the song (or maybe I do) I can understand why the title interests you.
Everyday we're surrounded by lies, whether they come from the radio, tv or even from colleagues at work or friends. It's hard to know when someone is telling the truth sometimes because the truth hides in many different ways. Even though we are in een era where information is everywhere for us to access i find it harder en harder to see where the truth is.
In a way it also has to do with work because some people work with lies to convince others that they are the best like you said. I guess you can say lies are a way of living, a way of working.
It's sad to know that you can't trust people and the media, but that is the truth, or at least one truth. I wonder if THE truth really exists of if truth is just what we believe in.
Anyway, I think you do have real eyes because you know what is out there, you're aware of the lies, so you can see it. The thing is, it gets more difficult to see where the lies are because the liars know we know the're lying.
The important thing here is that I do believe in you, I know you're not a lie and for that I am thankfull.
