LYING

People lie every day, they make excuses for their lies, small harmless white lies and big lies that prevent them from seeing themselves the way they really are. Some people lie over small things and if they told the truth it couldn’t have possibly compromised them in any way. Lying takes over their lives as it becomes a habit, therefore they are able to lie to any one whether to protect or hurt them. Some people say that they told a lie in order to protect the other person from harm or to prevent them from getting upset; to some extent it might be ok to do so. But some people lie through their teeth day in day out and to cover one lie they have to lie another ten times. Eventually these people do get caught as they start to forget who they told what lie and might say something different the next time round.
I used to have a friend many years ago who used to lie all the time. Her lies got bigger by the day and one day she said she had an operation because she has got cancer and she even wore a bandage where she said she was operated. I believed her at the time and little did I know she was lying, as time passed my other friend and I started to put things together and we realised she was lying and this made us very angry. We no longer talk to her as I do not trust her. It is just like ‘the boy who cried wolf’, how many times could you believe a liar and when or if they tell you the truth it will still seem as if they are still lying. There is a website below which tells you why people lie.
