It is commonly believed that it is wrong to tell a lie. This is a statement that can be heard from our parents, so we take this as truth. Despite this, people often lie to each other, and all of us were somehow deceived.
As for me, I consider this phrase as my life motto, because I don’t like when people lie to me. Therefore, I don’t lie to others. If I can’t tell a person the truth, I prefer to say that I can’t answer their question. This way I don’t have to think up on the go and keep false facts in my mind. Life becomes better when you’re honest. And most importantly for me - my reputation will not suffer if I do not lie.
However, there are people who find lie acceptable. For example, they consider it normal to lie about something small in order to keep some facts undiscovered. White lie may exist to maintain friendships or good relationships at work, they say. These people think that little lie makes life more comfortable, as they present themselves better than they are.
I believe that giving up lies we become better, as we become honest with ourselves. But it also improves close relationships with other people. I don’t believe that lie can help any kind of relationship. I can no longer trust a person after they lied to me once, and this means that our communication becomes meaningless in some sense, since I can’t be sure of their words. In my view, friendship or love life can only be built on truth and sincere respect.
After all, an important part of any relationship is accepting the other person as he is. So if you do not open yourself to another person, you are already in a fake relationship.
Thank you.
