Ok, here is the situation.

You have 2 people to pick from to be your friend. You have to pick one.
The first person, you know is a thief. They will steal money from you if you leave it laying out in the open.
The second person is a liar. You know they have been caught in more than one lie.

Who do you pick ?
Please make your choice above.

Here is my opinion. And Why.
I choose the thief. I can always protect myself against a thief. You can lock your stuff, and you know to EXPECT that they will try to steal from you. Never invite him over ! don’t tell him where you live ! If you want, you can protect yourself.

But the Liar…. There is no way to protect yourself against a liar. You have no way of knowing what they will say about you when you have your back turned, what type of rumors they will spread. And since most people do not bother to investigate something that was told to them, they instantly believe it, and your reputation can be destroyed.
You have no way of knowing if what they are telling you is the truth, and you can not make any decisions based on anything they say because you don’t know if it is accurate.
Some day you may be basing your decisions in life solely on what someone else is telling you, “I put you in for a promotion.” So you decide to celebrate, buy that new car, new house… get married because now you will have the money… but hey, sorry… they lied… in fact, your getting fired. They just needed you pumped up so you would finish that project before the deadline..

Liars can have a profound impact on your life, with no way to protect yourself.

But this is just my opinion…
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

Thanks !
