People lie all the time. No one can avoid this. White lies and other stuff, but why?
People have different reasons why they lie. We lie because we are afraid of the consequence. We lie because we are kinda in denial in the situation. We lie because we are afraid to make mistakes. We lie when we are being sarcastic. We also lie to make someone feel better. And sometimes we lie, just to make ourselves look more experienced, powerful, and whatnot. Many times, people lie to get what they want. Exaggeration and broken promises are also forms of a lie. We also lie to look honest.
It is sometimes hard to say when people are lying. That's why many people are fooled. White lies are still considered as a lie even gray lies. Psychology says that a human starts to lie at 6 months old by crying and laughing to attain attention.
Lies aim to deceive. And there are minor ar even big consequences in lying. May the consequence be a good thing or a bad thing, it is still a lie. Not all lie is bad, some lies bring out a positive outcome and some lies ruin somebody else's life. So be careful when you lie, lying is a very deceiving action. One simple lie can lead to a more serious consequence.
