Lie & Life go together !

Pinoccheo

Every body lies .Yes even You. That is the truth.

Can you keep your Right hand on your heart and say you never lie ?

We lie even to ourselves !! Our world is full of liars!!

Parents to their children, children to their parents, Friend to another friend, Husband to wife vice versa, Lovers to each other, superior to subordinate and subordinate to superior. People lie to doctors ,to lawyers, to relatives, you name it ,at every stage one is lying to others depending on the circumstances.

The day is incomplete  if you don’t lie !

And what about Surveys ,the Researchers undertake  to know the pulse of the people?

Are they getting the truthful  response ?

How about our dependence  on Google for A  to Z queries ? Are you getting the accurate reply?

Then why on the Earth you expect others to be Honest ??

Is this not the best example of ‘Double Standard’ ?

Nicholas Sparks says lie is a part of living.

“Because everybody lies, It’s part of living in society.

Don’t get me wrong-I think it’s necessary.

The last thing anyone wants is to live in a society where total honesty prevails.

Can you imagine the conversations?

You’re short and fat, one person might say, and the other might answer, I know.

But you smell bad, It just wouldn’t work. So people lie by omission all the time.

People will tell you most of the story…and I’ve learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most important part.

People hide the truth because they’re afraid.” -Jo       Nicholas Sparks

Even the ‘sex’ is not spared.

Everybody lies about sex. People lie during sex. If it weren’t for lies, there’d be no sex.    Jerry Seinfeld

Why everybody lies ?
Lying is not only a defense mechanism; it’s also a coping mechanism and a survival
technique.      Monica Raymund
Another reason given is..
“The truth is always a disappointment, which is why everybody
lies”.      Frederick Beigbeder
Now coming to difference between lying and deception…..
Lying is a form of Deception…
Deception however does not always involve lying.
This is a discussion for another day.

  1. Can’t tick a like to this post as none of it lies right with me ‘do unto others as you expect of yourself’ are words that spring to mind here. Perhaps my parents taught me wrong about lying. I suppose I could have had an easy life if I lied through my back teeth which this post seems to suggest. Are other people’s feelings really the focus here?
