Truthful Deceit

Lies are dependant upon truth. If this is true would not it also be a lie? Because if lies are dependant upon truth doesn't that mean that they coexist? If this is fact, then the truth lies, but then again if truth lies, does that mean that lies tell the truth?

If a person tells a half-truth, isn't the other half a lie? If so then wouldn't it be a lie? If a half-truth is a lie, then what is a half-lie? Would it be a truth? How can the human mind comprehend such a concept without confusion?

The human mind doesn't have to comprehend this but still... What is the purpose of a lie if it's true? Then would something that's true be a lie?

The earth is moving on an orbital... is it moving forwards or backwards? Does the earth have a front and a back? No. At least this is what we're being told. The earth is round... that has been proven, but if the earth is round then where does it begin? In the north? South? East? West?

"Kagome, listen to me when I'm talking to you!" cried a frustrated voice. How familiar is that voice to me again? I sigh. "What's wrong mother?" I ask. I stare straight ahead as I ask this, I had been on my way out. Ooooh... Kagome was going to leave... is probably what my brother Dutai was thinking. He really angers me. I wish he would leave me be at least for five min- hours. Then again, I was only going to walk to the store. It would have given me something to do. I was restricted from my studio (something father added on to my punishment after I walked away from them a week ago), and I don't watch TV. I don't have a book to read. I was booooored. I was so bored that I wrote a poem about chicken grease. It went something along the lines of...

oh, indubidible chicken grease
you cooked my edible chicken see
in your oily substanc-y
your unhealthy aims to please...
oh, indubidible chicken grease...

I was honestly that bored. I can't believe that my family would torture me for this long... I mean, one week... second thought, I do believe that my family would torture me for this long.

I sighed, Really I should find something else to do except to sigh and end up on the end of lectures that I never listen to. Then again when ever I try to go and do something productive, they always prevent my passage into less boring activities.
Decidedly, I listen once again to the woman that I am forced to call mother...

Reprehensible... Wait?!? "Reprehensible... mother.. please, I have done nothing recently to warrant the use of that word."

Keyword in my reply would be recently . See, reprehensible is a word that my mother uses for times when I deserve some form of punishment. I have a very bad history with that word. Back when I was young, bright, lively, oblivious, and not able to comprehend that my parents didn't actually care about me, my mother used to tell my father that I did things...

For example, My brother Dutai had destroyed her favorite vase. I was blamed.

Before my mom could reply I saw Shippou come into the room. "Aunt Higurashi... can Kagome take me to the store?" I inwardly grin. Shippou was only helping me. I really wanted to leave out of the house. Confined to my room... psh. Like they can make me stay.

"Kagome is on punishment..." said a voice from the door way. I scowled. It was Dutai. "But the store is just three blocks from here!" Cried Shippou. "I'll take you," said mother, and I sighed inwardly, but said nothing out of place.

"Pleeaase..." Shippou said while pouting adorably. I could see mother sighing, and I knew it was homefree for that one. "Yes, fine.. but come right back here after you're done."

I nod. Shippou and I walked out of the house, and toward the area in which the store was. As we were walking, I saw a black car drive up the road. The car paused beside us, and the window rolled down...

Well... I did say that I'd come back after I was done, right?
