My dear friends,
Overall, we experience the lies and false representations of facts knowingly or unknowingly, there by we also be a part of it in our Life.
Why do people lie often? Is there no remedy? How about restrain ourselves in this whirlpool?
This topic is like A straight nail driven so hard on the target.
No one can escape, if he wants to introspect within him / her.
It holds good to think by every one as “What is this life, if it is only full of lies?
It makes us ponder and wonder that lying is becoming so much a part and parcel of one's life that the truth seems to have gone several layers deep into oblivion.
Its either the truth is too bitter to handle or we fear being misunderstood.
If we deeply investigate our systems and behaviors, where everyone is boasting about how well they are doing.
Everyone else seems to be claiming that there life is all rosy and cozy.
Do you then talk about the thorns in your life.
Heck no! Its a matter of social esteem.
People do boost for those momentary pleasures, intentionally or unintentionally...
It is a close web of how to get out of it, when we think deeply with in us.
What made us to lie to ourselves, our family, our society and universe?
We can only find some answers, which always camouflage & ridicule at ourselves on the truth.
Yes we do try our best to behave trust worthy, yet we accommodate some minor vices like acting according to situations.
Where we are forced to utter few lies, to what an extent we can go for is the main question...
Lies are excuses to get out of certain realities.
To keep our identity we need to introspect & try maximum level best to act according to our consciousness. It may be a pain to experience those failures while expediting, yet we have to perform within permissible levels.
What ever the reasons may be to justify our doing, but the truth is we lie.
We lie to keep others happy; we lie to keep ourselves in good books of others.
That's the realities. Truth hurts yet it is worthy. With out pain there is no pleasure.
Every moment we are willingly or knowingly become a victim of such situations.
At our business, we lie, in spite of our products having the best durability, yet to get our prices we lie.
At home to escape from commitments, we lie and suffer for it later.
When others false promises hurt us, it is the same feeling to those gets hurt by our lies. is it not ?
It all boils down to the sense of security or that u r in a safe position.
If by lying I feel secure, I lie. is the situations. It takes guts to come out with the truth and face the consequences.
I have faced it several times with my parents & customers.
It also depends on our ethics and principles that we believe in or live by.
Sometimes we have to make up white lies to make parents relieved of their sorrows.
Our social norms actually force us to lie.
Life is like a game of chess; not merely that, it is like a battlefield too...
One has to face many obstacles in one's life..
Life is a challenge, meet it...but one should never get depressed.
Life is love, enjoy it. Be cheerful and courageous in the face of adversities; never give scope to any weakness whatsoever.
A weak-minded person cannot accomplish anything.
So, we should be strong-minded. Develop faith in that which is good and avoid those moments of frustrations, where do not succumb to utter lies & let time heal it.
Today corruption is rampant in all fields such as business, education and politics.
How we are able to overcome?
As the Quest & urge to overcome these lies, we have to come out from those wavering minds than to get in to the traps of Lies is more important.
If one succeeds then we are half bridge crossed.
With all our skills and expertise in different forms of knowledge we became a victim of desires due to these false pleasures.
So, man should have the broad feeling to identify himself with everybody. Humanity can never progress without broad feelings.
Avoid to act silly, not to be a laughing stock by our behaviors.
Help ever, Hurt never...helps us to keep ourselves away from this vicious cycle.
Today many of us are the victims of more desires and to achieve act funny.
Difficulties do come in life. That is the law of nature.
Never get disheartened by them. Difficulties are like passing clouds. Difficulties come and go, but morality comes and grows. Unfortunately, there is decline in moral values in the society today.
Once we have certain land marks as our basics, like Do not hate anybody.
Do not develop ill feelings towards others. Then we can become a true human being.
Work for the redemption of one and all. Let everybody attain divinity and experience divine bliss.
We should have such broad feelings. Our welfare lies in the welfare of the society.
All our greed, professional jealousy and pride cannot bring us peace.
The prosperity and welfare of the society depends upon the individual.
Our thoughts are our greatest asset.
If the thoughts are sacred, we will have sacred results.
Pleasure and pain are the consequences of our thoughts. So, sanctify our thoughts.
When thoughts are good and powerful, we can achieve any thing.
Happiness lies in self-control, self-reliance, in selfless service and in leading an ideal life.
To practice we need to sacrifice so many desires and if we are prepared, our false hood vanishes from our thoughts & actions.
Blessed self, suffering is part and parcel of our life..
The search for greener pastures continues...
The search for more peace & joy continues...
The search for greater challenges continues...
The search for the meaning of life forever continues..
So Life's Journey teaches us every moment..
“I am the cause of all I experience”

Hi Subbu,
have started a similar topic on other site. lies are very essential in life. I am yet to come across any sales person sayiing "My product is JUST LIKE competitors and it is at SAME price but I need to achieve my target so please buy from me and not from competition"
I am firm on the opinion that Lies are very effective & very necessary. Unfortunately no one wants to accept that in open. We ALL, EVERYONE tells lies atleast once in life. So why not educate folks to tell lies effectively. Why not have schools teaching subjectlike "telling lies effectively" need not be a major subject like maths, scienec but surely can be like craft, P.T. one lecture a week types.
What says you ??
best rgds

Perhaps the greed and lying go together.

Dear Friend Subbuji,
The lier always happens to be an intelligent person, more than average. Because he or she tells several lies regarding same subject matter to several persons. So she/he has to remember the whole set of the lying, which one told to whom, and remain so alert.
The truth teller is simple. He/she is not required to remember several stories on the same subject. Everyone would find the same answer from him/her.

Thats a good blog - :) Truth is there, in the face. People wear masks, they are beautiful that way too :) I like both, each one serves themselves. I'd be mask-less or wear them...depends as long as it is my choice and I know what I am doing. and why I am doing what...
:))

Subbuji......people lie for many reasons. Some out of fear, some out of guilt, some when in doubt. A few try to explain that it is just trying to strech the truth a little bit.....that I guess is called exaggeration. Then there are white lies that do not harm anybody. And if it can actually help somebody then it is okay. But usually one lie leads to another and with time you even begin to believe those lies...So when one starts lying to oneself that is when the problem starts. Nice topic, gave some food for thought. Actually I came here to wish you a Happy New Year and couldn't leave without reading the blog and commenting.....!
