What do you think of Lying?

[PrettyKitty1]

I wonder how many people think lying is good or bad, and why? Is lying truly necessary to achieve something?

Well gee let me see.....i am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic.  Have i lied??  I lied every chance i got.  Didnt matter who to either.  I lied all the time to feed my addiction.  If i knew you and i opened my mouth i lied to you.  Plain and simple.  Am i proud of that??  No i am not.  About 300 days ago i decided to get real with myself and truthful so i set out on an adventure that has taken me to the depths of he!! and back.  I try to be as truthful as i can now.  I have no reason to blow sunshine up anyones tailpipe anymore.  I am who i am and i say what i mean.  Will i live a complete truthful life and never tell a white lie........NO.  I am human.         sara

That's hilarious!  I know someone who used to lie about stuff like that with her boss!  This just made me think of her!  LOL!!!!

never lie to your boss
BOSS  said to an employee: "Do you believe in life after Death?


EMPLOYEE : "Certainly not! There 's no proof of it", he replied.


BOSS : "Well, there is now. After you left early yesterday to go to your uncle's funeral

He came here looking for you.!"

For the most part I love honesty and will be honest with you, but I have told white lies so that I don't hurt someone else.

Women-- How many of you have faked an orgasm so not to hurt someone else?? Isn't that a lie. I know I have done it before and didn't want to hurt my husband.

For me, lying is one thing I have a difficult time tolerating from my friends and family.  I do understand that we all tell white lies from time to time.  But, overall, lying really irritates me.  I had a friend who I realized was sleeping with a boyfriend of mine when I was young and I confronted her.  She lied.  I told her that I can forgive anything, but if she lied to me, she was done in my life!  She told me the truth then and we ended up staying friends and we both ditched the guy!  So, honesty is very important to me.
