In todays world lying has become apart of life. Weather you tell a white lie or a fib, you still lied. Many think that its okay to lie to protect someones feelings. I truthfully believe that you have to accept the truth one way or another so you might as well just be honest to begin with. It has been said that "what you don't know only makes you stronger". Although that may be true for some I would prefer that I am told the trust, as would many of other people. One of my friends is a pathological liar and I have found that I cannot believe anything that comes out of her mouth. Her lying has become a problem for because it has only gotten her in trouble. Obviously at some point in every ones life they lie or tell a fib. Lying is inevitable.
I have been in many situations where I have caught people in a lie. In my opinion it has made my respect for that person fade. I usually laugh after i catch people in a lie because i usually find that there's no need to lie. My biggest pet peeve is when I'm told a lie over something so ridiculous. In that situation whats the point of lying? I really hate that lying has become such a big part in today world.
"What you don't know only makes you stronger." Many believe in this quote and i do to a certain extent but i also believe that the truth hurts and that if you are willing to accept the truth eventually things will be easier in the end. High school is where a lot of lying takes place because you don't want people to hate you or have enemies because they found out you lied. I believe that honesty is the best policy from experiences that I have been in and it has only made me a stronger person.
The Truth, for better or for worse, is what makes people stronger. I agree with you and I feel that in most cases there is really no reason to lie. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because it does ... a lot, but i'm saying I don't get why it happens so much. I am the type of person that would rather be hurt by the truth than to be lied to so that my feelings wouldn't be hurt. If a person tells me the truth (no matter how bad the truth hurts) I would have much more respect for them than if I catch them in a lie.
ReplyDeleteThere are some people in the world that are pretty much uncabable of keeping a straight face when they lie. I know this because I am one of them.
