There is NO such thing as white lie.
A lie is a lie!
I do wonder of WHY some have the need to lied
Maybe it has become a habit....that had been practising over a period of time and had been instil in their blood.
Maybe the need to get off from being judge...
Never hide things from hardcore thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths.
And for whatever the reason is....better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
Anything is better than lies and deceit!
“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
That saying is so true.
"She says he says, but she could be lying to me, and he could be lying to her, so I can’t believe her, even if I could believe her.
"
People think that a liar gains a victory over his/her victim. What I have learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication,
because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies,
making that person one’s master,
condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…
Those who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.
There are three types of lies;
lies,
damn lies, and
statistics.
Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.
The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones.
They erode our strength, our self-esteem, our very foundation.
There is beauty in truth, even if it's painful.
Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak.
But lies only strengthen our defects. They don't teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything.
Nor do they develop one's character,
one's mind,
one's heart or
one's soul.
The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones.
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
The reason I talk to myself is because I am the only one whose answers I accept.
I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It's how rats are. It's what makes them rats.
But a human doesn't run and hide in dark places, because he's something more.
Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is.
At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince.
For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack:
Reason and Right
“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar”
― Abraham Lincoln
So if you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
When people cheat in any arena, they diminish themselves-they threaten their own self-esteem and their relationships with others by undermining the trust they have in their ability to succeed and in their ability to be true.
The rules are simple:
they lie to us, we know they're lying,
they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and
we keep pretending to believe them.
Yeah, it never fails to amaze me how a single lie can undo an entire lifetime of good.
