Why do people lie? Is there a need to lie? Is lying a cause or an effect? Can lying really solve problems? or does lying creates more problems? How can one judge what is a white lie and what is not? Not everything is black or white in life, so do we have a grey lie? I think a grey lie is a lie itself when your lie ain't really a good intended one but you just wanna feel better. that's a grey lie i guess.
Lie is ...
Anyway, I think lying is a form of escape. An escape from responsibility and an escape from reality and it is an effect to me. An effect of fear and disagreement from another party.
Let's take a crack at some examples.
Truth - "I went to the bar" vs Lie - "I was at work"
: Is going to the bar all bad? No. So why did the person have to lie about being at work instead? Cause the mum/wife disapprove of him going to the bar to kill his liver or spent too much money? So if the mum/wife is totally cool about it, does he have to lie about it? No. But of course if he ain't earning enough, probably he SHOULD be at work.
Truth - "I didn't do my home work cause I forgotten about it" vs Lie "I left my book on the table"
: both sounded just as bad but I am sure you used this lie before somewhere during your school days. Why? Cause we have this idea that not bringing means forgetful and not doing means you are a bad student. So we decides to take the risk and lie about it. If the teacher take the truth as it is, does the kid need to lie?
Truth - "Yes hunny, you look fat in those jeans" Vs Lie -"Those jeans looks great. it fits perfectly"
: Fine, this is a bad example. In fact the question about "Do I look fat in this jeans" is a trick question itself. but men do not want such trouble. Men decides to lie about it but if the woman is fine with the real truth, does man need to lie?
Born Liars?
So are men liars by default or is it an effect of women's action? I did mention that it is the fear in the person that caused them to lie in certain situation, fine, men bear the responsibility that they dare not tell the truth, but will things be on their side if they did tell the truth? NO.
The Truth about the cow and the river.
No, I am not encouraging people to lie but I am encouraging people to accept facts at sometimes. Give each other the due respect that there are differences in each other and there are different options between people and their living habits. It is not always right or wrong and definitely not always you are right and he is wrong. Think about it. If you think that certain person always lie to you over every single things about his/her life, it could be you who is driving this person up that way. Although yes, i agree with the saying that "If the cow doesn't want to drink water, leading him to the river wouldn't help" but me too believe that you should take the credit for "bringing him to the river" cause "if he ain't by the river, he ain't got any water to drink to begin with", simply put it - you did give him that option, didn't you?
