You are such a LIAR!


You are such a LIAR!

I have lied on people's face. Honestly, I was just insulting their dignity.

Sometimes I would sheepishly say "It was just a WHITE LIE!"
What is a WHITE LIE?

A quote by Lucy Hale on White Lie.

We think a little white lie is of no harm to tell. But, your brain just becomes a dustbin full of those wasteful lies. 

 
 Why would I want to remember that, I was down with dengue on 14th of February 20** while my friend was getting married and she really expected me to attend it? Whereas, I was actually sitting on my couch watching a movie, too lazy to attend the wedding!




People have their goody good reasons jotted down as a safe justification for their little lies. 

I think, people lie sometimes to avoid confrontations, to save face, to get one's way, for personal gains, even to come out as a nice person and sometimes just to make oneself feel good about their self-deceptions!
I have tried them all as per the situation's demand but, have my own regrets because of the outcomes they had. I had to face their consequences in some way or the other. Even my master brain could keep a record of only a few. Naturally, people even start pointing out that "You know sweety, you are a terrible liar!".
  
Sometimes, I personally let people lie their ass out when i know the truth. 
Its funny when they don't know that you know what they think you don't know!

But, what I really want to say is, 
Why Lie?
Why undermine people's trust?
Why treat relationships as a one-off transaction?
Why torture your brain emotionally?
Why compromise on your ethics?

Give yourself a chance to improve. Go ahead and give people a chance too!  

I also know its difficult for a person to practice the path of truth, but why not start with baby steps? :)

  1. Sometimes this happens unconsciously
    As its into our phycology but we can change it slowly slowly inculcating the habit of not lying for small little things too as jhoot chota ho yaa bada jhoot jhoot he hota h and with this mann ko comfort bhi milta h. You did a very good job by writing about this crucial matter, not many of them feel like talking about this. Thank you
