Every time we lie we think that itu2019s a trifle, that nobody will mark the deception. I suppose there is no man in the world who has never lied during his or her life. There are lots of reasons for telling lies. Firstly, some people want to seem better than they are in reality; they embroider the stories u2013 they are keen on making an impression on others. Secondly, our world is full of swindlers who want to become rich and make a profit out of somebody elseu2019s work using fraud. To tell the truth, we also lie when we want to justify our actions. Also there are some people who are fond of slandering, distorting facts to make othersu2019 reputation worse. As a rule, such people are simply envious.
Telling lies can be a dangerous thing. One has to remember that the deception will come out anyway. Then, if you keep lying you can easily forget what you falsely said before. Your conscience will feel guilty if you are a bit of an honest person. So to deceive is not good but I donu2019t object to telling u201cwhite liesu201d sometimes. I think we shouldnu2019t think up different unbelievable stories. But in some cases itu2019s better simply not to tell the truth. If you donu2019t want to hurt people you love or if you deal with people with a diseased heart, for instance, donu2019t speak straight from the shoulder. I want to add that u201cwhite liesu201d or other ways of deceiving are not justified when you are trying to solve a really serious problem.
Sometimes we decide to lie or to tell the truth but some people have to lie because their profession includes deceiving. Firstly, some figures of show business add to their life stories various piquant details in order to spread a scandalous rumor to attract attention. Secondly, some yellow press journalists distort facts to make sensations for the rating of their publications. Usually people like hot news about celebrities. Politicians can also lie in some cases when they promise to do impossible things in order to win elections. Actually, lawyers also lie to win trials; advertisers deceive the public with false claims. The list is endless.
As time goes by, the world changes, progress advances. But the representatives of humanity are as trustful as theyu2019ve been throughout the existence of mankind. Itu2019s easy to offer different ideas to people but it would be better to live without deceiving.
