There are the lies we tell consciously, knowing that they're not the truth. Then there are the lies we tell when we make promises and don't act to ensure we keep them.
To say the latter is a lie is harsh, but it is also the truth. Yet we excuse ourselves as long as we tried (or we're able to convince ourselves we tried, if not those we have let down).
"Others have excuses," goes the line of the song*, "I have my reasons why."
Let's make sure they're good ones, or better yet a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
*Reasons Why by Nickel Creek, from their eponymous album.
