Why are lies told?

• The definition of lie is a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
• The definition of a liar is a person or thing that lies, as in wait or in ambush.
• The definition of a pathological liar is a person who tells lies frequently, with no rational motive for doing so.

                   

            Those are very important definition that I myself take very seriously. I know there are many people that hate liars in the world, but why do people lie? Many lie because their afraid to tell the truth and many lie to stay out of trouble. It’s known that people start lying at a very young age and it only gets worse as people get older. Dr. Gail Saltz states “first lie is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can be manipulated.” Why do people have the urge to lie and try to get away with it? They lie because they see an open door for it and they know that they can get away with it.  I believe there’s a difference between children lying and adults lying.I believe theres a difference because their age determines their experience in lying and how well they lie. People who are experienced in lying are called pathological liars. Those are the type of liars I can’t deal with. When it comes to liars we believe the lie as the truth until it is revealed as a lie.

 

            I’m going to ask the ladies something real quick. Ladies how many times has your man said I lie to you because I care about your feelings? Ugh even in the movie “Baby Boy” Jodi lying behind says it. He says, “I out here telling these hoes the truth. I lie to you because I care about your feelings.” If he really cared he would tell you the truth and give you the choice to either deal with it or walk away.  Why men don’t give us the choice to deal with it huh, its either two reason; 1) because they don’t want to lose a good thing at home or 2) because they want to have their cake and eat it too. Ladies you need to stop believing these dudes and turning the blind eye when you see something just because you’re afraid to be alone. I would rather be by myself then have to share my man because he wants to lie and have a double life. Like my grandmother always says, “I will share my food, but I won’t share my man.” Lol, I so live by that rule.
