Windy and Rainy Day

Jacob, my Son. 
You are two years old, the thing that stands out about you in your 3rd Autumn is that you can draw a face. I am sure that I couldn't draw faces When I was 2 years old. I think I could barely draw a squiggly line. I am sure you will be more gifted than me in so many ways. 

The thing that is relevant at this time is people openly mocking our leaders. I don't like to hate them much. I think they are forced to lie when they get elected. Here in the UK, every policy and action in parliament is scrutinized by the whole cabinet and can be vetoed by the house of Lords so they can block everything they want to do. They make promises that are uncertain because if they present them as uncertain proposals they won't get elected. To simplify I would say it is a 'Catch 22' situation. Lie or die. I would say that some politicians lie more than others and some lie unnecessarily. 

I have lied many times in my life, most of the time it is because the truth doesn't make sense or is messy. I like to keep everything simple. The most common lie I say is "I'm fine". Sometimes I'm not fine, sometimes I feel pain or sadness but I don't want to dwell on how I feel so I say I'm fine. I'm not trying to deceive anyone, just doing them a favour by keeping the crappy side of life to myself.
