Do we always tell the truth?

Greetings and welcome to all the creators/readers friends of Read.Cash, welcome to another of my adventures behind the keyboard.

Today while I was reading after several days of absence I read the post of my dear @CoquiCoin entitled Writing Prompt #18: Lies where we are invited to write about this topic, I must confess that, I was unaware that there was this type of dynamic and a community for it, so I certainly threw myself into the adventure, as I am always excited to participate in everything I see.

Lies that we could say about them, the first thing is that we should not be ashamed to admit that on many occasions we resort to them, ranging from white lies or as I would say those that relieve us of being 100% sincere, for me one of the most common is the typical "How beautiful is your baby! We have always been told that all newborn babies are beautiful, and let me tell you that is not always the case, but who am I to tell the truth to a mother who has just had her baby? Therefore, the classic lie that I already mentioned makes me avoid that uncomfortable situation.

Undoubtedly, the other recurrent lie must be the compliment about how good a piece of clothing looks on someone, obviously, if I do not have enough confidence with the person, the compliment of "How beautiful it looks on you! I will say it without even hesitating, different case when there is confidence with the person; there if I become a true official of the fashion police. So we could say that if the truth could get you in trouble and a little lie could save you, I say welcome to this occasional lifesaver.

The problem with lies, is that once you see yourself discovered the other person will always have the doubt of whether you have been sincere or a liar; another thing is when you let them (the lies) take over our day to day, because that apart from distorting your reality would already be a kind of disease. Some say that women know how to lie better than men do, because they have nerves of steel; on the other hand, our nerves betray we and we start to talk too much and that makes us to be discovered.

Particularly I try not to decipher much if they are lying to me or not, I prefer to lead my life relaxed and calm in that aspect, not because it will hurt me to discover the opposite, but because it would be investing a lot of energy in a situation that we do not control and that depends on others. So I leave it to their conscience, also because I know that sometimes I have also lied to them, and we could say that we are even.

Now, what I do enjoy is when conversing with someone I know they are lying to me and sometimes me to them, that kind of duel of lies I find very comical, but nothing like the embarrassment of feeling discovered, I think that is why I am very careful when resorting to that outlet. I am not an expert nor do I try to be, it would not be very correct after admitting that I am a little liar to advise you to look for help, it occurs to me that, with a psychologist, I don't know; but when we accept that we cannot stop lying I think that it would be a good solution.

I could not finish this writing without mentioning that with my family, I am always sincere, I never resort to lie, and no matter how pious it is, because I think that sincerity and support are essential bases to consolidate a family nucleus. That is why I have not ceased to be an accomplice of my nieces, who on more than one occasion have hidden an animal at home to take care of it "momentarily" I say so because all those animals still live in houses that already look like shelters, but at least I have lied for a noble cause.

I love to participate for the first time in this community, thanks to @CoquiCoin and @JonicaBradley for the initiative, it is also my first post in English (which is not my native language); although I read and understand it very well, I am still not very good at grammar, so if you see any mistake let's blame the online translator DeepL who helped me to reach you. Sincerity first and foremost, even if it is in a post about lies LOL.

Until next time, I wish you a lot of creativity and prosperity...

 Let us continue with the campaign to find readers! There are never enough of them...

Right, as you post in English, I´ll answer in English as well my dear Kike. Beauty, beauty is a perfect point of view, anything that is beautiful for you maybe is kinda ugly for me, totally sure about it. That´s why I particularly smiled and imagined the situation of a mom so proud of her "beautiful baby", but you know, sometimes we should have some filters to avoid being "impolite".

This is cool that you try and post in English, this one was awesome! Deepl translator is cool, as a plus for your improvement, I recommend you to use Grammarly, it´s an app you can have on your phone, an extension you can add to Google Chrome, or even can be installed in Windows. This program corrects your grammar, and suggests you better options to make your posts, better. Blessings my friend.

Thanks, Simón here trying to improve my knowledge, let's see if I fall in love with this language, which until now I read and understand well, but at the time of writing it costs me a bit to process everything, so I will try to help myself with tools, thanks for the suggestions.

Las mentiras tienen patas cortas, en lo personal trato de no mentir.

Pero como dices quien no ha dicho una mentira o por lo menos ocultado algo, esto ultimo también lo ven como mentira, yo digo que no.

Soy culpable de exagerar un poco las cosas a mi favor en algunas ocasiones, pero la mayoría de las veces peco de sincera, en ves de verlo como una virtud, muchas veces me ha traído problemas.

Es muy cómico eso cuando sabemos que nos están mintiendo descaradamente, cosa que da pie a que uno también lo haga una que otra vez con esa persona.

Aprovecho para decirte que cada vez que te comento, no se finaliza el envió y tengo que hacerlo de nuevo con otras palabras por que me sale como spam. Me ha pasado es con tus publicaciones.

Otra cosa, cuando publicas un nuevo artículo me salen 2 veces las notificaciones y siempre una de las 2 no abre. Es raro, no se si a alguien mas le pasa lo mismo.

Inclinas las cosas a tu favor jajaja mira no sabría decirte nada de eso que me comentas, a mí me ha pasado una vez que fui a comentar y me salió eso de spam y era que ya se había enviado y por cuestiones de la conexión el comentario se había quedado ahí, cuando refresque la página me di cuenta de porque me decía eso, del resto ni idea.

I like your mindset a lot, not trying to decipher if someone is lying or not. And you are right about leaving others of their own conscience. Why can't we all think like you do?😂

I love your sincerity and honesty with your family also. That's greatness to me❤

Ahh the comical situation of being lied to and you lying to them in return haha.

How funny your duel of lies. LOL And yes, sometimes a lie is necessary, especially if it is for a noble cause.

I love that you've participated in the prompt. And you can also write on any other of the topics that have been published so far. Because the date to write is open.

And your English isn't so bad. If you write it regularly, you'll improve a lot. Writing here has helped me very much in that sense. And it helps, to install the Grammarly extension in the browser. I use it. ;)

Thank you very much, "your English is not so bad" I read here a little lie LOL I will write down the suggestion for when I try again to try in this language.

Haha. I mean it, hehe. I've seen really bad English here. And yours isn't the case. ;) Maybe you can do better with the vocabulary. Sometimes translators don't use the best words. And in this sense, Google is better than deepl in my opinion.

Right, or out of fear of feeling inferior to others, there are many reasons why they do so; but doing so is always a problem to be assumed and corrected.
