There is no person who has never lied, even if it comes to innocent lies. These innocent lies are also called "white lies" and today I am inspired to write about them because in my opinion, they have a great impact on our behavior.
Kindergarten
Little innocent lies starts at an early age. Children unconsciously defend themselves with small innocent lies. In order for their parents not to be angry about the mischief they made, the children invent a story. That story is innocent, sympathetic to us adults, but it is certainly a lie. Children in kindergarten often defend themselves with a fictional story in order not to be punished. I think that from an early age children should develop an awareness of lies. It is very important for them to separate fairy tales from real life.
School
If you do not pay attention to small innocent lies in time, school age can be dangerous in that field. Children in primary school are already aware enough, mature enough to come up with a serious lie. A lie can get complicated. People who are unfamiliar with the fictional story get involved and then general chaos ensues. In my opinion, the last opportunity to correct something like that is the period of primary school. Later, it is the next chapter and people who lie, begin to believe their own lies.
College
Complexes. As I said, all starts in kindergarten. Now we are talking about serious people who live in their own lies. People who can easily manipulate other people's feelings and play with their own and other people's lives. During this period, it is difficult to determine whether someone is lying, because after so many years, he is already experienced in deception. How to save yourself from such people? It is very difficult.
The job
Well, here is a dangerous fight. A pond full of crocodiles as I like to say. People who deal with deceptions and live in their fictional world, have to talk with their Human resources team. Usually their tests show very well who is what. Psychologists generally do their job properly. It is another chance to stop this way of life.
Marriage
The last subtitle, in my opinion, is the most important. I don't think a married man can survive with small innocent lies. Then the cards are opened and the truth comes out. Then it will be too late. A lot of people are usually disappointed and hurt. And then, there is a chance to change something, but it is mostly very difficult.
I must mention that small innocent lies sometimes can be good. Only in exceptional situations. For example, when you save a colleague - a friend, from certain punishment and stand by his side. You confirm that the tire on the car really broke and that is why you did not arrive on time for work. And during that time you drank some nice cappuccino. 😊
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to say a white innocent lie?
Thanks a lot for reading my article. All content is original.
Stay well and safe!
Interesting post! In my opinion, lies are lies, some more, others less serious. As a teacher I can tell you that the family plays a very important role in this acquired behavior, at school we work to help it not exist or be modified, it is then that family and teachers must unify criteria to face this challenge.
