Not really....... you are a normal guy just trying to have your own life. Probably. Maybe your parents were always too meddlesome, and you learned you had to lie to them just so you could have your own life.
If I spend all my time trying to regulate where you go and who you talk to and what you think and what you do, I can well imagine that you'd quickly be making up stories to cover your tracks. It's sort of passive-aggressive. You can tell your parents to piss up a rope without actually confronting them.
Also..... part of growing up is practicing survival skills.... and lying is a survival skill. Anybody who has ever been through a war knows that the right lie at the right time can save your life. And you do have to practice these things.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
