Everybody Lies

It’s really been a long time since I last updated my blog, and I didn’t have the intention either to come back until two more weeks, however something came up and so enlightening you all with this sweet fallacy would be an obligatory virtue ;)

From product commercials to news channels, it’s a fact we hear a thousand more lies a day which appear to be true, maybe it’s an intricacy for gaining attention or mending broken affairs, lying is something that has become so much as a characteristic among most of men (and women of course;) than as one time affair. Lying feels normal until the recipient comes to know that you’re doing it (or the other way around as well), its effect is more profound when it comes from a near one than a stranger. Much like any young individual would, or anyone for that matter initially has the habit of trusting everything that someone whom he considers near to be the gospel of truth, every single excuse, every single lie, or every single deception that goes on in the background eventually leads me to disbelieve in every promise taken or maybe to ponder back again on the things that were rather acknowledged comfortably by myself. I know that anyone who’s reading this has encountered this feeling, this stillness of doubt and disbelief, stillness of lies. Yes, as humans we can’t expect complete honesty in every scenario from every person, but from someone you trust or care, it’s odd not to.

As Dr. House (fictional sitcom) says , “everybody lies”, it’s a fact that’s common among all of us, none of us can deny this, we ourselves do it, but when someone near does it, it sincerely hurts doesn’t it ? I don’t know if you interpret this as suspicion but the fact remains intact, it’s in our blood, but what makes the difference is which side we choose to be, one can never label any single individual as a ‘liar’, it’s a variable and keeps changing on the basis of the circumstances that he undergoes, or the things that he wants to mend; yes rectifying things is one most common reason that ‘pushes’ people to lie, it’s not their fault that they said something that they shouldn’t have or simple untrue, and so lying to reform the past words of antiquity becomes a goddamn necessity doesn’t it !? So when there’s awareness that the fact is no longer hidden, one resolves to rationalization; explaining things that do not really affect the present situation nor does it crystallize the past, to be precise in most cases this is what is commonly known as ‘making excuses’ post ambiguous statements, if this doesn’t work then you probably would hear this, “you don’t trust me” or “you thought I was lying?” or “Just think why would I not tell you this?” and this list would continue longer than the summation steps of integrals.

So what’s best? You can never demand any person to ‘not lie ever’ because it’s something that’s infinitely distant from practicality and perhaps not viable as well, what one can expect from his correspondents is acknowledgement, not defending the deceit, rather letting your companion know that there was a glitch (in actions or words) and that one will be conscientious to not repeat it again, and frankly this should be enough to settle it for peace.
