Lie After Lie

What’s the meaning of that? It means U shall create another lies after U tell untruth. How come? For example: Last night U visited a place that your mom doesn’t like it (Pub  or Discotheque, maybe!!). When U had arrived at home, your mom asked U: where U have been. What your answer? ‘coz u know  your mom so well if U visit those places, so you lied..

What happened after that?? Maybe your mom make another questions, and ‘coz in the first answer you lied and of course you made untruth answer after that!! For example: in the first answer, you told her you were from your friend’s house. Your mom asked : Who’s name? where? ..bla-bla-bla.

For those questions, I’ll bet you can’t give a truth answer!! . I know, It’s very difficult to say honest!! But if u make a lie U will tend to make another lie ! . That’s why, I ‘ll try not to be a lier. I can’t make a good lie sentence and anybody will believe what I say!!. Really I hate this situation!!

But sometimes Lie is needed to be!! Hm… that sound is contradiction ??? but really..it’s true. It usually called “ White Lies “ (Not White Lion!!) !! For example: U met a man who is chased by his enemies. He hide in your home. When U met his enemies, U didn’t tell them about him!! (But please this is special case, Don’t do same treatment If  he is a robber!!).

OK ..up to U what U want to choose: .tell the Truth even it’s bitter or Lie..but U feel uncomfort!!

well sometimes, white lies are good but in depend upon the situation. Scenario: You been in a relationship. Then your man is totally sucks, i mean.. he wants you report even little things where you go? what do you do?..balh..blah. And then you feel pissed off! you asked to your self: Do I should tell everything even those not big deal? and then you would say.. hey honey I'm just going to the supermarket (but truth you will go to your friends house) because your man doesn't allow you to go to your friends house. 

In short you should not tell all things and share things that happened you in the past even he or somebody keep on asking about it. If you don't want to feel guilt ..then better to keep your mouth shut. Or don't say anything even a single word. For you not to tell lies, not feel uncomfortable, and have a clean conscience.
