lies

One of the biggest paradoxes of human life is that we are all basically truth loving creatures but more often than not in most situations we take the support of white lies. Mostly in our dealings with children or those who are closest to us we prefer to tell a small white lie than hurt them with the truth. Are not most excuses that we give white lies? How many times have we pacified tearful kids with white lies? How many times have we twisted the truth to keep the in laws happy? The truthful answer would be unteem. We do realize that what we are doing is not technically right but we choose the lesser devil. the easier path always. That is true for all humans except those who fall in the "Saint" category.

Lie pervert the truth; however, if none utters a lie then how would we know what truth is. To know how white a thing is we must have black color in contrast to compare.

One cannot fathom how it is going to be as telling lies specially white ones are told to be polite rather than hurt others and so it is difficult whether at all it would be possible to live without telling lies. Also mostly this happens with children.
