why do we have to explain the reason for lies? I think what we really need to metion and discuss about is how we can compare lies and use each kind of lie in the right way. U know, there are many different kinds of lies. Life is never simple, but we cant complicate all the details, all the matters.and we can hardly be satisfied with almost everything in our lives, telling lies is one way to make everything more simple and make us satisfied with something. sometimes u know already that it's lie, but u still can accept and be satisfied with it, of course if it will not lead to any serious results.

  It's a great surprise to know that someone can live along his life without using any lies!!!! But i can sympathize, one of u said that life will be much better without any lies, just because we can never experience that kind of life – all the truth. Similar to this, as we're always in a normal world – get access to everything which always has its limits, it's hard to imagine a universe without any limits – to imagine something which is "endless" (maybe the reason why we can difficultly understand clearly Einstein's theory-). And "white lies" are harmless, I agree. Do u remember the famous story "The last leaf" by O'Henry – also a kind of a "white lie"!!!

We say lies so as to as to remain fools.We are big fools & we don't accept it we want to cheat others that ,we  try to look beautiful without getting beautiful.To be beautiful we need a lot of hard work,we have to change our self,but we like shortcuts,which turns into longcuts & they never reach to our goals.

The whole moralities taught to us by enforced religions makes us hypocrite,all the religions suggest prize for good & pnality for bad,easy way is to lie…we learn to preach differently & act differently…

The principles of whole education system teaches us to lie…they teach us to leave others behind by allthe means ,at every cost we have to remain forward….

The whole marriage system makes us liars as we don't accept human nature… we follow rules of society not of existemnce….

Yes, everything is sometimes the lie. And if u feel something like the truth ur wrong and u just cant see through it. Because it just seems to be the truth, or u just wish it was true and then ur to blind to see the right meaning, sometimes its not hard to believe in, because it often looks better than the true. There r many kinds of lie. Sometimes it s supposed to help us ,even though it ends up bad for us, its just a matter of luck

Important is, what sort of lies we r speaking about… supposing that someone tell the true , when one is not telling the true can hurt us, especially if u not expect that, so u should await the lie, then u wont be too much dissapointed. Its also hard to define the true and the lie…Everyone can see it in different way , none of us can see it the same as u , i mean misunderstanding..Anyway who is able to tell the difference between the true or the lie deserts some price or what.. People r just scared, that if everything was the true it would be quite boring here or there or wherever, thats why they r sometimes telling the lie , they think it sounds better (by the way not my case)

Sometimes we have to tell the lie, because there could be someone who s not able to cope with reality ,the true ,so we tell the lie. In that case it could help, but not forever. They can realize it later.

But the result is that either the lie or the true can hurt us…Wink

I like the topic

lies lies lies and lies … this word remind me about iron maiden song " no more lies" hahahaha

I thing everyone lies in this world because we can't control this situation…it's in the person itself and why he is lying? we can't tell that because it's depend on the person and it's about the situation that he in.
