Funny, last night we saw the movie "Meeting the Fockers" where Robert De Niro is playing a tight-up father and ex-CIA guy. It's a rather classic simple American style comedy, but you can always find some pieces that are very good. De Niro is always good by the way. In this movie he was positioning his son-in-law to-be (Ben Stiller), in or outside his Circle of trust. I found it overall rather amusing and had quite a few good laughs.

What also happened last night was that a very good friend called me and confessed that he's been lying to me this week. Very surprising indeed. Then the question struck me later on today: Is this guy in or outside my circle of trust now? You can always argue about the level of importance of the lie and the purpose, but it had been on that level that it had kept him partly sleepless. No major impact for me or damaged caused and the excuse was accepted, but I'm afraid that regardless of that, it will always remain a slight suspious filter on my mind subconsciously from now on, when I'm taking in information from him.

Generally, I'm very trusting, until proven wrong. I think that's a better attitude, than being suspious towards everyone and everything for no appaerent reason.

The point that I'm getting to is, that if you are inside someone's so called Circle of trust, than it just takes one small lie to be thrown outside and there's a long road back to get inside again. Hard price to pay!
