10 Lies We're Told (plus 1 bonus)

We're lied to all the time. (You're shaking your head, "Yes"?) Sometimes the lies we're told ~ we begin to believe them (if we're not careful). We must refuse to believe the lies. We must adamantly refuse to believe the lies. We must vehemently refuse to believe the lies.

What do the "liars" know anyway? Hmm? Do they even know us? Have they even taken the time to care enough to find out our story? ~ what we've been through, what we've faced and overcome ~ and against all odds (many of us)?

They don't have enough information to make a judgment. They're just going on subjective (emotional) evidence ~ how they feel, with all their pre-conceived notions and opinions mixed in (bias, prejudice) ~ aside from the facts, aside from the truth about who we really are.

They would think differently if they knew. The lies would go silent.
