An ordinary lie accompanies a person throughout his life. Why do people lie, even the most sincere and decent, is it really inherent in human nature?
A person lies all his life. To yourself, to those close to you, to those around you - to everyone with whom you are in contact, in communication. The forms of lies are numerous and varied - lies, lies, deceit, cunning, tales, fairy tales and even innocent jokes. Condemning lies, the average man does not assume that "lies", it turns out - an innate trait, which in different periods of a person's life has different signs, motivation and manifests itself in different forms.
- From 2 to 7 years old, such forms of deception as whims and fantasy are most typical for a child.
- From 8 to 13 years of age, cunning and secrecy develop especially strongly (I did not see, I don’t know, I didn’t notice, etc.)
- From the age of 14 to 19, the enemy is motivated by the exaggeration of its social significance - these are stories about personal "heroism" presented by the narrator in vivid colors and stunning details.
- From 19 to 35 "commercial lies" develop. In other words, any lie is good if it brings material benefits.
- From 35 to 45 a "mature lie" appears, during this period of a person's life a "family" lie develops. Moreover, deception between a husband and wife can be completely innocent in its essence, connected only with the fact that not to injure your spouse. Although it is during this period that the marriage is tested for strength, and lies can be associated with both flirting and betrayal of one of the representatives of the marriage bond.
- From 45 to 55, the lie takes on perfect forms and goes into the stage of sophisticated deceit. A person uses all his life "experience of the ability to lie". It is at this age that it is most difficult to catch a lying person in a lie.
- From 55 years old - a wonderful form of deception, which is disguised as "your opinion", flourishes. In other words, any lie can be justified and presented as a personal, "experienced" view of some things in an elderly person.
Of course, everyone develops the art of lying strictly individually, but a certain programmatic development of "lies" inherent in the human personality exists, which is why the endless disputes between psychologists and researchers of human souls continue.
