LYING

Do we expect people to lie to us? What would our world be like if no one lied?

YES! I know for a fact that people lie to me and have lied to me and honestly i am perfectly okay with someone telling me a little white lie. Sometimes hearing a lie is better that hearing the truth. Let's just say i ask my friend if my hair or makeup or even if my outfit looks okay, and even if it is not perfect, sometimes hearing that I look fine is just what I need. And vise versa, if my friend asks me if they look okay, and even if they do not look perfect I still tell them that they look awesome because it will put them in a great mood and help build up their confidence.

A world without lying would be a very corrupt world. Many people would hate each other and there would probably be no functional relationships anywhere! Lying is a necessary part of everyday life. I am not trying to say that lying is a good thing, just sometimes a necessary thing.

  1. i am right there with you that the world would a corrupt mess. Being told that you look amazing when really you just look okay is really what everyone wants to hear. :)

  2. I agree that telling lies sometimes help to build up confidence and make people feel better. Also bcoz it is human to prefer hearing good things concerning them even if it is not.

  3. This is very true because if I told a friend they didn’t look as good as they could right before heading out the door to a party it would ruin their night. They wouldn’t have time to change so their whole night would just be ruined. Nobody really notices little things that we might notice in our selves or our closest friends, so its sometimes better to tell that little white lie.

  4. i think honesty is very important and believe that our morals as a society had become very weak becaue people's feelings get in the way and can't bare the truth. for those who can't handle knowing the truth can simply be okay with being lied to but I'm the type of person who likes to know the real truth because being honest shows respect and honor.
