So Easy To Lie!

How many people who talk actually tell the truth? I know that a lot of people do tell the truth. There are that many more people who do lie through their teeth! Or see things the way they believe life should be. People who use phony excuses why they will never do anything! Life is hard enough without people constantly deceiving others. Each day is meant to be a test. Life is never meant to be easy. You have someone who makes you promises of what they are going to do and yet, they turn around and say in the same breath that they cannot for whatever reason. You have money coming in from your hard work and you have a freeloader taking and never giving back to you, then it is time to move on. If someone you know says what they are going to do but never does anything then it is time to move on. You are an adult who does not need someone taking advantage of you daily. I have been kind enough to loan money to never get paid back. I was talking to someone that works at Boost Mobile because my phone is not working right and has not been since January 8th. She has it right when she said you don't know who you can trust. If you want to get a phone or pay your bill then you have to knock on the door because they were robbed. Most people will do and say anything to get what they want on a daily basis! For those who do feel they have they right to always take advantage of others kindness, that will come back to them. Be honest to everyone because lies always come out, sooner or later!

Telling lies is like a disease. Reason being we have to tell more lies to cover the earlier lies. So it will spread and we become a professional liars. Some people have to tell lies because of circumstances but some are just habit. Seriously some are telling lies to cheat. That is really bad. Some people have to tell white lies because was asked to. Life is not simple!

Agreed Well i would like to say something. There may come some situations where we are forced to lie to make others happy. But it will not be considered as a lie.

Reminds me of my aunt. Together with her sister she sent a text message to their eldest sister's daughter who lives in a different city to ask for money which they said their mother desperately needed. It was for 2000 pesos and they said my mom ordered them to send that text message when my mom didn't even know anything let alone ordered it. Sure enough the sister they texted sent a text message to my mom to confirm and my mom was shocked. She confronted them and told them not to drag her in any of their stupid antics to get money off of someone only to be used for their own purposes and not for their own mother.

Life is full of lies even if there were truths. I guess some people are just comfortable lying everytime to see approval from the people around them. And they think that by doing this, they can be part of their circle.

My friend, it seems you have been suffered from unjustice! The world has liars, it is the truth. Sometimes we can't change it,but we can be careful next time when we meet liars. Liars are not always lucky,they will be punished sooner or later. Have a nice day.

No one is born to lie, they lie because they want to protect something or hide sth. I still hold that there are two kinds of lies in this world spoken from people's mouth. One is the bad one which just set others up or just ask for private benefits. The other is the good one that just wants that victim being lied to get a good result. I believe good lier can come back good, but the bad one will end up suffering what he has lied

It is easy to lie, but it is wrong and will come back to bite you later.

I am not comfortable when I lie specially if it's face to face. I seldom lie but I'll be honest when I admit that I do lie. You are right though, honesty is the best policy. As no secrets remain secrets forever and lies will be uncovered.

the problem with lies is that they might come out sooner or later but that it's in most cases later.. too late. So the harm already been there and the liar is rewarded. Since if it comes to unjustices, being abused (again), most of us are not fighting back. we are just swallowing it again, carrying the big financial lost or what others did to us. Even if we know someone is lying it's still we are raised to help out others, to give some credit.. if you don't do so (anymore) they say you have no heart, you are not able to put yourself in their shoes, etc. If you don't want to attract abusers, scammers, liars, fake friends it's you who has to change. Take care of yourself first! Do not loan any money to nobody since no matter if you can miss it (at the moment) or not it will kill every relationship and you won't make real friends with it either. Doubt people, ask questions and be there for you. If you want to change the world or your world you have to start with yourself. It's also your duty to raise adults who misbehave. How come we accept this misbehaviour of adults but not if children do so? also ask yourself first, before you give, before you help out others, if that person would do the same to you. Don't look for small excuses like that person has less to spend, or can't at the moment, or would be if... since there are all kinds of help people can give you, it's not Always about money.

I'd say I've been honest so far because I do believe in karma. Even white lies are not acceptable because they're still lies no matter how you say it. Specially when dealing with money, you'll see lots of liars who'll say anything just to get their way. Even if they do that to you don't worry because what goes around, comes around.

well said.. funny thing is we all know people who lie to us, the second they lie. So why do they do this? Must be some kind of sickness I guess. Take care there. See you here soon.

People who lie, I'm sure because he was afraid, because he made ??a mistake. There is no lie either. All lies are not good. In addition, lie also has many bad side effects. In addition to no longer be trusted, shunned by friends and the people around us, feel uneasy, lying can be a disease. People who lie, chances are he will do or say another lie to cover the first lie, so as not exposed his lies. Thus, the lie will become a vicious cycle for him. And it will become a habit, like a domino effect. Once a lie, it will always lie, unless he dares to admit the lies and mistakes. Actually, it's easy to see someone is lying or not. People who lie, will usually avoid eye contact with his interlocutor, in addition, he also looked nervous. However, for the liars advanced level, they may not apply. Having been so used to acting and lying, then other people are hardly aware that he was lying. Although it is difficult to avoid not lie. All people must have done it after all.

There are some people who are born liars. They can't stop themselves from lieing about any situation and trying to take advantage. However, there are a lot of situations that a lie might be beneficial for getting things done or for sparing someone's feelings. For example: you may need to stretch the truth on your resume or job interview to get a job. You might tell someone that you can't hang out with them because you already have plans instead of saying you don't want to hang out with someone because you hate their wife.

Big or small, a lie is still a lie. Lies hurt, a lot ! I always try to tell the truth, even though I hurt other people.. Better hurt with truth, that make feel better with a lie. Sooner or later, it will come around.
