I always feel sad and disgusted whenever i discover that somebody lied to me. For this simple reason, i decided not to indulge in telling lies.
However some people believed that lies has categories, there small and big lies. Those small ones are needed to get some things done. Do you really categorized lies? And how do you see telling lies?

I cannot understand how lying is better then telling the truth. Some people justify by saying they did not want the person to be hurt. Do they not realize that when the truth comes out now the lie will become even greater and the person now becomes doubly hurt.
There are not categories for lies, they are simply lies. Anyway anyone can look at it, it still boils down to a lie. I utterly hate and despise lies.

What if the life of somebody is at stake?
What if the life of several people is at stake?

Lying would not save the person and or people in anyway. As believe me when I say, okay go ahead and lie, the person and or people now have their lives safe, so what happens someday when the person and or people find out the truth.
They are not going to remember you saved them, but that you lied to them. The truth sets all free. I would much respect people who were blunt and truthful then a liar anyday.

I hate telling lies too, but sometimes is really difficult to say the truth, and there is where i find myself lying, in the difficult situations. I always try to be sincere, but I sometimes tell "small lies" as you say.
I don't think that lies are just small lies, because, whether you like it or not, are lies!

I hate telling lies too because i have to support it with another lie! It is so hard to fabricate stories just to cover up.
Aside from small and big lies, there are also white lies.
They said that you can tell someone is lying if he cant look at you straight in the eye. For muslims though, they wouldnt like it if a lady would look at them in the eye, it makes them feel that the lady is too aggressive.

It would be so good if we could just force ourselves not to lie.
A LOT of things would be better, if you lie it won't be the last time you lied, believe me, it'll come back to you again and again...
