Lying

We lie in life because telling the truth is too much work. Sometimes we feel that telling the truth would make us obliged to explain ourselves at that moment. Other times we are afraid that telling the truth would make us lose our credibility and our dignity. When we lie, we have the intention of correcting ours or other’s mistakes without anyone else knowing. It buys us time, but when we can’t deliver, things go wrong. Sometimes we lie out of fear, other times we lie out of manipulation. But lying destroys us inside. It makes us weak and unable to stand-up for ourselves later, when it really matters. It destroys our sense of self identity and what we stand for as a person. Lying is wrong, deceiving and hurtful. Think before you say something, because even a small lie can play its part in tearing apart friends and family. I’m sorry…
