To lie or not to lie? – argument

Everyone lies from time to time. Whether in work, school, or even family. Lies help us to take advantage, which we couldn’t take, if we were telling the truth all the time. Sometimes, a little lie is really better than the whole truth. You can’t tell your boss that he is a stupid idiot, just because you think that he is. Instead of that, you tell him the nicest things you can, just to keep him thinking, that you are the one for the job. We lie almost everyday. If a friend wants to go out and you are just lazy to go, you could tell him that you are. But telling him that you are busy with your studies sounds much better and more intelligent. However, too much lying can become hard to handle. If you lie to everyone, everyday, and you tell them things that are simply too unreal, you don’t gain respect, you lose it. Lying is not a good way to make friends. Hypocrisy works only to some extent. You can’t make someone else from you just by saying things you wouldn’t normally say to a best friend, who knows you very well. Then again, a little lie to someone you are just getting to know can help you develop relationship with him/her. All in all, lies make our lives easier. We can get over some problems with no struggle just by telling a lie or two. But lie too much, and you are in trouble. Everyone has to know when to lie, and when not to lie.
