when we can to avoid the injustice .. and when we stop to afraid for the punishment , we can to avoid lies.. that is to the children whose will grow up to be the honest persons..

we should to have a moral deterrent to avoid lies.. that is to the bigger persons..

we can to use the lies only when we want to correct between persons.. that is to the wise persons..

Dear Minora,Kanaobi & NabilaSh,I feel that lies are the causes of mistrust….& we want cure the results of lies through lies ,I don't feel that it works…as you say everybody likes to hear good about himself but he just likes to hear good instead of becoming good…Aswe say beauty needs no aurnaments in the same way turth needs no lies…but we don't accept truth…all of us have similer structure of body & mind….but we don't accept ourself …..so we try to hide our face behind lies…which further complicates the situations….all the morals given to us by religions & politicians are the causes of lies…..we select shortcut to look good instead of becoming good…

I don't feel that lies cures our life…we just live in a dream land..making fool of self & others..

i think we can avoid lies. you will have to make up your mind(as Mahatma Gandhi)

did or other way is that you change your definition of lie. you can do both of them. just make your mind. Actually what we tell is lie is defined to be lie from past. So just change definition and avoid lie.           Smile

lies are creative many times. I don't know whether it is true or not but i read somewhere that bill gates told a lie to his friends that he is going to make pc (so that he could get money from friends for other work). but this lie gave him a new idea to revolutionise life. and finally he did that….

many such situation we face in life everyday, where we do something creative or destructive due to what we have told.
