Readers, help me out. Answer me this: why lie? OK, there are little white lies and there unnecessary lies. examples: a little white lie would be calling into work sick when clearly you are not. An unnecessary lie would be denying an accusation that you know you are guilty of. I'm not sure if it's just me or what the case may be, but I feel as though lying will get you no where but into a hole. Or possibly somewhere with your back up against the wall. Sure, lying may get you out of a situation for the time being; but believe me when I say, "your lies will eventually unfold." LIES are honestly only TEMPORARY. It amazes me how some people can lie so much to the point where they begin to believe themselves. Crazy, right? I came across someone who lied so much it became an instinct for that individual to lie instantly in place of telling the truth, without even thinking about it. I don't mean like a big lie, say for instance someone asks them a question, like WHERE ARE YOU? If they were at McDonald's, instead of saying just that they would reply with; I'm at Jack in the Box. WOW! Really, now? Like there really is a difference. But seriously, it wasn't like they intentionally meant to tell a lie at that time it's just that they got into the habit of lying so much that it became a daily routine. I don't know about you, but that is not a habit that i would want to obtain. Why lie? If I don't know anything else, I'm sure you would be better off telling the truth than lying. So next time you think about telling a lie, please do think again. -chelby t. handy

well i feel like people lie lots of times to defend themselves from something, and other times to have a sense of belonging like lyin and sayin you did somethin or have somethin others have,, without thinkin about the consequences ahead
ReplyDeletePeople are afraid of how people will take certain things or especially if u dont want to hurt someone. There's a scripture i believe i read it in proverbs maybe the 26th or 27th chapter(not sure) that says something about how a lying toungue hates to hurt people but they've already dug their hole ya know.
