Deception = misrepresentation: a misleading falsehood I discovered today that someone I was very close to….a friend for many, many years….had been misleading me about several things this past year or more.  An individual I trusted without hesitation….someone I thought was one of the most sincerest of people, honest through and through.  I would have never, ever expected this person to lie to me….to mislead me.  They were my confidant…my rock. As a result of this deception, I have spoken and thought badly of another individual…someone who was undeserving I’m sure.  My friend revealed this deception in an email today…..said we can no longer communicate…goodbye….good luck….the end.    An almost 30 year friendship….over. …
