I am not getting well that few people in this society are not willing to tell truth to the others! We are all the blessed one's of supreme! All we taking the same air, all we eating the same food! all we drinking the same water! All we are abiding on the same earth! But What is this bloody nonsense of useless differences between people?...A man can't be steady always?....Why he/she is thinking with narrow minded?... I always hate this type of thinking in my life ever and ever!... And what about you on this topic?... Let me know your valuable opinions please!

In this world no one is Perfect. We all have our own unique weaknesses (like lying) and this sometimes impacts others negatively. But if I want to change the world I have to start with myself. Its a whole process starting with finding ones weaknesses and starting to work on improving them however slowly it may be. The only person in the world perhaps fully under our control is our self. I have experienced that, in the process of overcoming my own weaknesses I powerfully influence those around me (with my actions) and positive changes begin in those others too. We are all unconsciously watching out for a "role model" and any positive action on our part has powerful positive impact on others. So it is not wise to conclude always that I am right and others are wrong. Its perhaps much better to focus our energies on continuosly improving ourselves and leave the rest to the Almighty.

Not everyone welcomes truth in a open way. Many a times it happens when we express everything truly people tend to think we are fake and liars and then they stop trusting us anymore after that.

Hi friend, i am not interested with such kind of people and keep distance from them. We must be true to our self as well as others. It is not a great tedious process to tell the truth always, in fact we will get more respect with this kind of activities. Broad minded persons always have their own importance among others.

I feel you man but unfortunately that's how society works today. Unless youre a cool person in the society eyes, without telling lies you'll get allmost nothing and it blows.. We live only once and some people think that they want something that they need to lie to get it so that what they are doing..

i think thats a sickness. I knew a lady like that in las vegas usa. You could never believe a word she said. All were lies. Might be reason she didnt have a mate or friends around here. Take care there.

I think you're asking a very big question with many answers all of which could feasibly be true. The truth of the matter is people lie for a plethora of reasons. Some include but are not limited to: 1. Pathological liars- liars who lie because they are diagnosed with a pathological condition usually stemming from trauma (but not always) that often results in compulsive lying. Can generally be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy. 2. To get ahead- it's a weak economy and a tough competitive world out there and I think many people lie to get ahead whether fiscally or with a position, etc. 3. To obtain something- generally a person. People find a potential partner and though in relationships, honesty is crucial, I think many people lie to obtain someone by making themselves some more impressive or by omitting something they're not proud of from their past. 4. To keep something- I think many people lie when something the love whether it be a possession or a person is threatened for removal. They may lie to try and keep the person of thing in their possession. For example: People who lie about infidelity. 5. To not hurt someone's feelings- sometimes, the truth is harsh and I think some people lie because they don't wish to hurt the feelings of others. 6. Shame- Some people lie because they are ashamed or embarrassed of the truth. Overall, I'd say the root cause of lies lays deep within the emotional condition of humans. Shame, guilt, selfishness, or greed are all leading factors, emotional and reasons why I think so many find themselves lying in this society.

Well people love using tricks to get what they want. Another thing why some people hesitate to tell truth is pride. Another is fear of humiliation. They don't want to feel humiliated admitting the truth.

Have you ever lied? Are you always honest in your life? Then we all lie, in any one way ot the other.. Sometimes, we name our lies, to escape from the fact of not telling the truth... We defend it as white lies. What ever color we may name our lies, black lies, red lies, and all.. Lies are still lies.
