Lie- not tellin' the truth

Lying: a survival way of doin' the most amazin, crasiest, scariest thing without being hurt.

Moreover, lying is sometimes useful when u don't wanna hurt somebody; we have the typical lie to a kid: "Son, your turtle has dug deeper and deeper and it's finally found a way to go out to the beach… sorry". Parents do that cuz they don't wanna hurt its little baby. Lies has also being used in Jesus Christ's times, when the romanians said he was a traitor of God, and there is when lies can be used in the worst worst place: Politics. The mother of lies.

I think lies where invented when the Neanderthal developed that hioides bone, i bet his first lie was "i didn't eat your rat" or somethin' like that.

yes, i agree with you- it`s truth that we can understand any lie when we `ll know a reason of that lie. but it only sometimes, not ever. if somebody will often lie to me, yet i couldn`t  believe him/her

How about the white lie? I think we did,are doing and will do it in all our life.

I hate myseft whenever i do it. But you think i have to?

Hi friends,

Thank you very much for your answers about this subject.But,I'm confused,some friends tell lie is necessary for some situation,some friends tell lie is lie it means nobody should tell lie.Which one is valid in our life?Is there anyone who hadn't told any lie in his/her life? Is there anyone who always tell just truth?We are human because of that sometimes we may lie.I can imagine,someone will tell me ''yes I didn't lie anytime in my life''.May be,but that person firstly should think before this answer!!!!! 

Thanks again.Be happy and healthy till next time.Take care BYE :)

in my opinion a human should not lie, if they try once then they will try again and again, so dont lie otherwise no one will trust you.
