Lies We Often Tell by bomakris(op): 10:58am On Apr 21, 2009
Most at times we tell little and big lies, Oh! it escape my mind that there is nothing like little or big lies, all lies are lies so there is no difference.

However, people tell lies for thier selfish reasons, to prevent thier love ones been hurt etc.

I could remember i once told a lie to my Mum, my conscience was pricked but i still have to tell the lie cos if she knows the truth of the event that took place she will be devasted and heartbroken. I don't want her to feel that way so i was left with no option than to tell a lie.

I won't go further but i want to know your own perspective of why people tell lies instead of the truth?

Safe lies, small lies, big lies; lies always come back to haunt you unless you say the truth you may know no peace! In fact loved ones may feel devastated when they discover they've been lied to & may never trust you again.

Generally, we lie cos we have not perfected our ways before God cos if our ways are perfect, we will say the truth no matter the condition
