Topic On Telling Lies : By Rosalie Camille P. Lagrosa
"No matter how long we keep lies to others, still the truth will come out. Truth will still prevail in the end." But why do we still lie?
No one will say that he has never lied. No one will insist that he's being honest all this time. Even I, i already lied. We have encountered situations in our lives wherein we rather choose to lie rather than to tall the truth. But why? Each of us has our own reasons. We lie maybe because we don't want to hurt the feelings of other people especially our loved ones. Some believes it will be best to just keep quiet. But others do such to deceive as a form of trick and test how they will react.
There are a lot of circumstances that all of us can relate in which we experienced lying. It maybe at home, in school, in our community. It maybe lies to our family, friends, neighbors, teachers or loved ones. It maybe small or big lies. All of us already committed fibs on certain instances, intended or not.
For example, at home, if parents have financial difficulties paying expenses and other needs, they will rather talk with each other the problem than let their children know it. They will make them believe that everything is fine even if they don't have enough income for their children's needs especially in school. Children too in some cases, if they have problems at school, if they got low grades in their exams, they will just keep it to themselves and say they're okay because they don't want their parents to get disappointed.
At school, for precedent, if a student committed mistake like if a teacher asked him to bring a letter to a certain person, even if he hasn't given yet the letter will say that he has already. Teachers also do lie in some cases to their students or co-teachers.
Same with our friends, for instance, if we really can't come out with them, we will say that we have something to do even if there's none. If they are asking if they look good in their outfit, we say yes even if they're not. Are these real friends we can call? Because if they are, they will criticize us to be at our best not praise us to be at our worst.
Nowadays, especially with couples or lovers, lies do exist. Telling falsehoods became a cause of some break-ups and separations among these people. There's a saying among lovers stating, "It is better to tell the truth to make someone cry than to tell a lie to make someone smile". Isn't it true? But most still violate this saying. Some still follow the other way around.
In our lives, even if we say we cannot do a lie, we still do. It's normal. For some conditions, it's uncontrollable because we may have reasons why we need to do it. But intentionally or not, unknowingly, we became untrustworthy with our words and hurt others' sentiments. What if they do the same to us? Doesn't it also hurts? As long as we can't, we must avoid lying. It's ungodly.
We must hold in minds, in the end, it will still be authenticity that will succeed. That we can never hide from the reality, from what is true. Because no matter how many times we lie and how long we keep them to ourselves, truth will rule at the right time with relative consequences to rectify our wrongdoings, unmask us from hidden lies and save us from hurting and being hurt, too.
Remember: There's no good with lying...
