The vast majority of people are lying. Even if this lie is sometimes innocent, our society can no longer be imagined without lies. Every person who lies is guided by different reasons.
Almost everyone lies so as not to upset loved ones, not to hurt friends, not to lose the affection of dear people. Sometimes an innocent lie does not allow negative emotions to flare up between members of society. A person who does not lie at all can make many enemies for himself and even remain alone. The elementary rules of good manners, which we are taught from childhood, imply a certain slyness. Pretending is a must when treating some people with courtesy. His actions not only harm the one who was deceived, but can also put a heavy burden on the conscience of a liar, unless, of course, this is a completely lost person. People are far more likely to recognize lies than some liars think. Running eyes, frequent blinking, avoidance of gaze, unnatural voice - this is an incomplete list of signs that betray a deceiver. Inveterate liars get out of the trust of friends and co-workers. The person who lies to look better in the eyes of others is most often dissatisfied with himself, has low self-esteem and believes that he is not good enough. Let him add something that doesn’t exist, but he will not be able to deceive himself. To himself, he will seem even more pitiful. Often people lie out of fear to seem stupid, weak, to give out their real feelings. They hide behind lies like a mask. Lying at work is very common. Sometimes you have to lie to customers in order to get them first and then keep them. People keep silent about the injustices they see in the workplace so they don't lose their jobs. They lie if the rules are too strict at the place of work, they lie about the reason why they cannot go to work. They cheat and dodge to look better in the eyes of their superiors. We need to distinguish between the “good” lies that have become part of our culture, and constant serious lies in the name of profit. The second is addictive and can lead to pathological deceit. The price of deception is self-esteem. If you are not ready to pay so dearly, it is better to stop lying to others and not engage in self-deception right now.
