Lies, lies, and more lies. .
Posted by ben in Daily Rants on 07 30th, 2008| | No Comments »

Have we ever wondered what the world would be without lies?

Have we ever wondered why friends around you tell lies all the time?

Self Desires? or Beneficial Lies to the world ?

In life, it is hard not to say a lie. Be it good lies, bad lies, human are always tempted to lie. Good lies refers to the beneficial of all, whereas bad lies are for self desires, in a form of either greed, lust or humanity. Most of the time, in this super realistic world, we tell lies not because we want to, but is because we have to. Sometimes, people tell lies, cos they have to fight for their own survival in the world, or they are being put into a corner. Then the utimate liar appears.

Take for example, David is having a party event tonight at a club with his colleagues, as a form of celebration, but his wife, doesn’t like that idea. So ? what did David do in the end? This kind of situation happens most of time, around us, just that we didn’t notice about it, and David, as a faithful and loyal husband, at the same time as a diligent and loyal worker too, doesn’t want to dissapoint his colleagues, for his colleagues are throwing a celebration party for him, are being put to a test. In this kind of situation, he has to give face to his colleagues meanwhile, hiding this thing from his wife, as he knows his wife doesn’t like this at all.

So what did he do to resolve everything?

Darling. tonight im going to meet some clients for dinner, I’ll be late home, don’t wait for me, good night. Loves, David.

So, simply telling a lie, to cover everything, means everything is over?                                                                                            

The answer is no.

Worst-Case-Scenario:                                                                                                                                                               
David’s wife ’s friend was at the club at the same time, coincidentally, saw David, and say ‘Hi’ to him. Meanwhile, when his wife’s friend meet up his friend another day for coffee, guess what happens when the friend told his wife about his husband he saw that day in the club. She is completely caught unaware that her husband is dancing and drinking all night long when she supposed to thought that her husband is having dinner with some important clients. What would she think when she heard this?

Nothing, but lies, from him.

He could have made the situation better abit by being honest with his wife, but he knows that his wife will be abit unglam about the idea, but he has no choice. If we put ourselves in David’s shoes, what will you do? Lie, or tell the truth?

And in this-realistic-and-cruel-world we are living in, everyone makes a living, by telling lies at times. Out of how many millions or billions of people living in the country/world you are living in, are purely honest ones?

Probably the answer is 1 out of 1000 in such cases? And what happened when that pure one is being mingled and mixed into such a society we are living? The chances of that person still remaining purely honesty and not telling a single lie is slim, in the world are we living in now.

Everything’s about lies, Everywhere’s about lies, Today you come to this shop, they tell you this bag cost $35, then you went home deciding, and came back the next day to hear the bag cost $45. Not because they are lying about the price, but this is the world are living in, the sales they had to make, the lies they had to tell customers, in order to make a living for themselves.

And for promoters its even worse, there’s no such thing now such as honest sales anymore. Not from what i seen for the past few years, in the sales line. Everyone’s telling a big lie, to fight for their commissions, their own sales, their own survival. Dishonest sales, what i meant by that? Selling a customer or i say as, bluffing a customer your way thru, something that they don’t need is considered one. Take for example, a customer walks in this to a megastore and asked for a washing machine, but instead Adam walks to her and serve her. As Adam is not part of the store but as a promoter for its own brand, of course, he will have to fight for this potential customer, and ‘psycho’ the customer to purchase the cooking oven, which he is promoting as well.  Being a foolish yet honest person, the customer took every word the promoter said. Unsurprisingly, under the wonderful and brilliant spell cast by Adam, the customer unnoticingly fall into his trap and bought the oven as well. Little did she know when she reached home, she realised her oven is still working fine, and has no need for it. So , is the blame on the customer’s foolingness and honesty, or is the blame on the promoter who are telling a big lie to sell his products despite his wonderful sales talk?

The never-ending answer is, both are at blame. It is because of such foolish yet honest person existence that the liars around triumph to victory. Lies will bring about karma, and karma will fall on people, one day, and thats what i believe. Whatever you reaped, is whatever you sowed. One day, we will realise that the beneficial lies we said can be actually presented in a more honesty way, and the self-desire lies will be brought back upon us, from others.

However, we constantly always making the world a peaceful place to live in, but one day, if only all liars turn into honest people that does’nt tell a lie no matter what they do, then the world will be a conflictless place to be in.

But that day will never come.
