Should the truth be told at all time, should you only tell the truth half the time, or should you tell lies until your teeth fall out of your head. This blog post is going to discuss my opinion on whether you should lie and when you should lie if you so need to.
First of all, lying can get you out of a lot of situations, but for how long? You either have to carry that lie on for the rest of your life or the truth comes out. Which most of the time it does come out in the end and you get into even more trouble. The risk to lie to someone is extremely high because it could backfire on you at any moment.
The saying “the truth will set you free” is a great saying to live by. When you tell the truth to someone the weight of the problem feels lifted off your shoulders and you just feel relieved afterwards. After you tell a lie you feel all gross and gritty. There are people who feel no remorse for people after they lie to them. They enjoy lying to people, it’s like an adrenaline rush for them.
You shouldn’t lie to the people who mean a lot to you. It hurts them even more when they find out you lied and that you couldn’t trust them with the truth. Trust is a hard thing to come by, especially after you lied once to them. But on the other hand, I think you should be able to lie in a non-harmful way. If you lie doesn’t bring any harm to anyone then I don’t see the problem with a little lie here and there. There is a difference between a hurtful lie and peaceful lie. You get to choose which one you use. Choose wisely.
