The Ways We Lie

Is it possible to tell lies and still be an honest person?

I think that you can be an honest person and still tell lies if your willing to fix them. I have told lies so it wouldn't hurt people so that my feelings wouldn't be known but it killed me inside. I later had to come clean and try. I think I am an honest person but sometimes at that moment I can't necessarily say everything is fine.

Sometimes people don't mean to lie they do it in the moment but most people feel guilty and come clean. I know i do. I don't think some people mean to lie, it just happens sometimes and they end up thinking about it so much that its guilt getting them. There are many people that use lies as an advantage and its horrible because they hurt many people and sometimes when its to late they realize it. I guess better later then never right?

Being honest can mean many things. Its they way you tell the lies that can make you not honest. an honest person is someone that tries to fix his or her mistakes and doesn't try to make the lie bigger and bigger by telling more lies. A person who wants to come clean and tries to fix their lies is becoming honest, instead of  letting it go and keep it going. I'm an honest person and I have lied but I do fix it right away because I can't keep a lie. I'm sure you can tell lies but be honest, you truly can.

  1. Analyzing the consequences of the lie that we are about to confront is the most important step while lying. I really feel bad when I lie too, but there are certain points where I want to avoid clash. At that time I am bound to take help of lies. But of course guilty sensation is always there.

  2. Are you lieing? Just kidding! I think if you tell a lie when your put on the stop shouldn't even be considered a lie. I think not telling the truth should be acceptable from of a "lie". Do you think if it comes from our feeling, should be tell the truth? Like when people say "how are you" and most of us will say "OK, Thanks" but really, we're irritated, sad, in pain, excited...ect. Does that constitute as a lie?
