Do you lie? when and why?

Formatted Soul
By Formatted Soul

Do you lie on a daily basis? I am curious to know because I came across a person who always lie for no reason….Why do some people lie for unnecessary things…in some situations it makes no difference even if they say the truth or even just keep quiet but still they lie ..

I am pretty straight forward with my thoughts and opinions. But I sometimes lie when it has to do with hurting someone’s feelings. I don't like to upset people when it doesn't have to be done. Yes, I have lied, as I am sure everyone has. I don't lie on a daily basis, however … But unfortunately some people live with lies…

well... well.... well...

All persons who are blessed with the ability to speak out have definitely lied in many instances... People who live on lies wouldn't reach anywhere in life... they just keep on lying ....and lying... and lying to cover up one after the other..

Predominantly there are three factors involved; viz. The nature of person, the circumstance and the end result...

"I Never Lie" is an Impossible Statement.

I wrote an Essay about this many moons ago. The Conclusion i came to is that Honesty is only one Face of Morality.

I can lie, but not be a Dishonest Person. I can Tell the Truth, but not be a Moral Person, it's a bit of a paradox really.

Wife says "Does my ass look big in this"

Husband says "Hold on, let me stand back and fit it all in" The obvious outcome is serious and rapid bitch slaps from the wife.

People do occassionally lie. Funny thing though, if you pay close attention, you can actually tell a lie from truth. When a person lies his eyes uncontrollably shift to the left. The voice gets a little higher than normal. Ofcourse there are born liars too. He can look at you straight without flinching as he gives the most outlandish lies. But not to worry. Its his problem not yours. Liars get trapped in these lies sooner or later.

samaac said "Trust me i am a liar". Now if this is true then samaac is a liar and what he said is not true. But if what samaac said is not true then he is no liar, which means what he said is true and he is a liar, which then means that he is not a liar because what he said is a lie .....
