Have you ever wondered what lying does to your image? Well ofcourse you have but have you ever realized how badly it affects your entire surroundings and the way people think of you as a person…?
I was reading a book about lying, no no not to see how I can lie myself through situations but to see how a liar thinks. Learnt a lot and felt that there is so much we don’t know about this sick hobby that most people prefer rather than collecting stamps.
When a person lies:-
- No one trusts him in the long run
- No one takes him seriously
- No one feels any good being around them
- Everyone will make fun of them behind their back
- He/She forgets what they said as lies are easily forgotten by the one who made them up
What should one do to avoid being tagged as any of the things above:-
- Try to atleast be honest with yourself first
- Always make sure you tell the truth, you will thank yourself for it
- Be around people who appreciate your honesty and are honest themselves
- Give yourself a pat on the back for being honest one step at a time
What about you guys n gals.. any tips as to how some of our friends can stay away from this thing and be a better person?

Yups i notice that a lot in a few young kids who say one thing and next day their words don’t match up. This thing also continues in people as they grow up. So yes when one lies just stop them on the spot.

Whenever some lie, he/she feels that they got ride of the situation but in long run they don’t realise that it could put them in worst condition or may have to lie more to cover the first lie and the chain continue. So I prefer to tell the truth , no matter how bad the truth is but at least you are safe and you are not going to put yourself in trouble where you have be ashame of yourself or you loose your self respect. I prefer to be honest and definetly admire those who can be honest at least with themselves.
I think, whoever lies , doesn’t realise the complication of that lie, once you loose that respect in someones eye, its hard to get back to that level. Its obvious that other person will be always doubting you, even if this time you are telling the truth and be honest. so definetly its upto you , what do u want and what do you choose.
My advice will be, no matter how hard or bad or whatever the situation is, speak the truth and be proud of it.once you make your mind that you just want to be honest, you will start following it and you will realize your self, how easy to speak truth instead of lieing for it.
