Truth Is Truth, Lying Is Lying
Truth is Truth, Lying is Lying
Judith Viorst describes in her essay “The Truth about Lying,” a very interesting and intellectual composition. The author has made a great exertion to try to present four different kinds of lies people tell in their daily life. She has separated them into four sub-groups: Social Lies, Peace-Keeping Lies, and Protective Lies, and Trust-Keeping Lies, and uses headings to separate them. She has used a lot of different techniques to convey her message to the reader. Over all she has used simple but accurate language to talk with the reader. She often repeats: “Do you agree?” or “What about you?”
Viorst begins her essay by describing how she contrasts herself to society which lies about lying. It was very difficult to her to do it. Finally she reached to present conclusion, a series of moral puzzles all concerned with lying, and she tells us what she thinks about them.
Social Lies, in the form of little white lies, says Viorst, satisfactory and required to behave. Most people think it is assailing to be clear honesty without these little white lies, they say, our relationships would be short and ferocious and yucky-yucky. Our honesty can be painful and embarrassing.
Viorst goes on to ask several examples of questions there the society insincerely, disingenuously lies. You know!
Viorst goes on to refer to one person who absolutely rejects telling social lies. "I can't play that game," he speaks; "I'm simply not made that way." And his answer to the argument that saying nice things to someone doesn't cost anything was, "Yes, it does-it destroys your credibility." Now, he won't offer his views on the painting you just bought, but you don't ask his frank opinion unless you want frankness and his quietness at those moments when the rest of the liars are speak softly, "Isn't it lovely?" was, for the most part, eloquent enough. Her friend does not humor in what he calls "flattery, false praise and mellifluous comments." When others tell
