Satyameva Jayate
Have you heard of 'Satyameva Jayate' , the national slogan of our country? It means that Truth alone Triumphs .Yes, I believe that the whole life of a man succeed only when he is truthful. Not only in relationship, but in every day to day activities.To me,bravery is not only needed in war front but also in telling the truth and facing the aftermath.
Any relationship built on lies will not last long. For example in our custom they say that for getting married, people can tell even thousand lies and it is not a sin. Leaving the debate whether it is a sin or not, first of all, I do not understand how does a relationship that begin in lie, will last forever? The total purpose of marriage becomes a waste just because of a lie. To me, better not to start a relationship in lie. Even if that marriage did not end up in divorce, it is for sure that there would not be a smooth relationship. There would be a question of "Is he/she trustworthy?". And this is not good for a relationship, especially in marriage.

Secondly when people lie for petty things, no one will believe them . A man went to forest and all of a sudden he wanted to test the helping tendency of the people of his village. So he shouted that a tiger is coming. All the people in the village heard him shouting and they ran to save him from the tiger. But they couldn't find any tiger. Then they knew that he lied. Next day, the man did the same thing and the people came to rescue him and went away without finding anything. This continued for a few days. One day, a real tiger came and the man shouted for help. No one came and he was eaten by the tiger. The moral of this story is that when people start lying for petty things they will not be believed by anyone when they really need some help. To me never even play for fun by telling lies.

Last but not the least never fear for saying the truth. Whatever be the consequence of truth, face it. When we are truthful, we will have a peace of mind. We will have a proud

    Why Are Lies Wrong

    The dictionary defines a lie as, “a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.” However, while the intent of a lie is to deceive, that deceit is not always intended to cause detriment to others. Lies can be told for justifiable reasons such as to protect the feelings of others, but more often lies are told for the wrong reasons. For example, lies are mostly told to avoid the consequences of one’s actions such as with criminal activities and academic misconduct. When comparing acceptable and unacceptable reasons to lie, the unacceptable reasons greatly outnumber the acceptable.…

    After listened to Pamela Meyer’s speech “How to spot a liar” I think this is an interesting topic and if people go deeper in this topic people can conclude more interesting things from it. Meyer first talk about the lying is a cooperative act. Sometimes we got lie to and at some other point we are agree to get lies. However, not all lies are harmful; sometimes lies can be friendly and acceptable. We were always wishing that we were better, more powerful, smarter, richer, and the list can goes on and on. Lying is attempted to bridge that gap and to connect our wishes and fantasy is who we wished to become, how we wish we could be.

    Pathological Liar

    • 7 Pages

    We have all lied at some time or another in our life. As a child, we may have lied so we would not get in trouble. As adults, we may lie to avoid disagreements with someone, so we can maintain a healthy relationship with that person. We teach children that it is wrong to lie; however lying comes natural for us, and we all lie whenever it is convenient. These kinds of lies are ‘white lies’. They are harmless lies if mentioned with the right purpose. People lie to loved ones more than anyone else. It is easier to lie to a loved one more than anyone else, because telling the truth might be more painful than a lie. Some people are better liars than others. When a person becomes habituated with lying, it becomes a problem. When Lies are told for no reason at all, it can cause a significant deal of stress in your life. Most of us have heard the words pathological liar which describes a person who is more than just a liar but also extremely dishonest. .…

    Honesty vs. Lying

    • 438 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Honesty is always the best policy. No! Lying is a natural and necessary part of good relationships. The oath, "the whole truth, nothing but the truth" are impossible to abide by. In today's world we consider those who are too honest to be blunt. No one wants to hear that they look heavy or less attractive in those ugly fuchsia yoga pants, or that the snow globe they just received is pointless and that they will never use it. Lying just helps avoid unnecessary conflict, and in a way protects our invasion of privacy. It may sound crazy, but whether we like it or not, relationships are held together, not only by telling the truth, but telling an occasional white lie.…

    Effects of Lying

    Lying destroys trust amongst people and results in lost prestige. When trust is lost, it is difficult to earn it back because we tend to assume that a person who has lied once will lie to us again. We then start to put our defences up against that person in order not to be deceived once again. Not only that, sometimes, we also tend to bear a grudge for long periods of time and it takes a while before the person who lied is forgiven, that is, if we ever choose to forgive and forget. The…
