Have you ever lied in one way or the other?

Hallo my people! I hope you doing good wherever you are. I have woken up in a very bright morning and the sun is very up shining here. There were some rain clouds yesterday morning but it didn't rain even a drop. I however oftenly hear that in this earth you must apply some sense of a lie for you to get something or succeed in one or two occasions. I was not agreeing on that but I hear from many people that they needed to lie for them to be accepted to marry or get married to the present spouses. They insist that without lies they could hardly get someone to marry to. People tend to believe in the lies but not the truth mostly they insisted. I however can second this. This is simply because whenever I have a simple conversation with my friends they tend to be more attentive when I add a little bit of a lie in between. They are likely not bothering much on the reality part of the story. I therefore confused. Why people tend to like and embrace lies more than the truth. It is evident in many places that, the person that likes being truthful and faithfully to the reality lacks friends. I sometimes fail to understand. Where is the world going? Have a wonderful time.

I'm not sure what your customs/culture dictates but to lie to a potential life partner doesn't sound a good idea to me. Sooner or later, you'd be exposed as having lied I think.

So you don't want to tell lies but you are forced to do so depending on some occasions.

@Treborika There are so many types of lies and so many reasons for lying. I don't like lying nor do I like being lied to. When I was a child I lied here and there because I didn't want to get into trouble. When I was a late teenager / early adult I lied quite a bit but it was to keep myself, my family and friends safe from an abusive monster. Nowadays, I am feeling stronger and do not tell lies.

@Treborika A white lie is a lie that you say to save someone's feelings. It's not as bad as a real lie.

The truths and not every body wants the whole truth. Sometimes lie helps a bit even though it's wrong.

White lies are often necessary not to hurt people sentiments.

We all have lied in our lives. Sometimes a lie is morally more correct than a ugly truth. And remember half truth is also a form of lie. But I would never agree lying to get married. That is not fair.
