Words of Lies
One of the teachings of our elders and parents is that telling a lie is a bad thing to do. We were also taught by our teachers at school about telling the truth. We also learned from the Bible that lying is a mortal sin, but still we forget about it when we are at a situation where telling a lie is necessary.
As an individual, we sometimes lie about our wants, desires, status in life and sometimes we lie about how we feel. it is common for children to lie when they are at fault, but it is easy to read through their minds. Their eyes always show the truth. However, as for an adult, they already know what is wrong and what is right. Indeed, lying is necessary for adults, especially when they are at a difficult situation.
Lies are just words but sometimes leads to a bigger problem. A husband that is not true to his wife, when caught, will be filed with a case and be imprisoned. An employee who falsifies documents, when caught, will be filed with a case and may be block listed to other companies. A politician who lied about his true motives may be hated by his people. A criminal who didn't confessed for his sins will bring it in his conscience for eternal.
Sometimes we lie for us not to hurt the feelings of other people. We lie to cover up our own faults and to make excuses. We sometimes tell white lies to avoid offense when complimenting something or someone that we find unattractive. Sometimes we also lie to save someone or ourselves from getting involve to an awkward situation. Indeed, we lie because we are being driven by something to do such acts.
