consequence of lying

Some people say white lie does not hurt. Someone tells it to avoid hurting another person. I don't believe in that. A lie is a lie. Whether white or colored. God does not like dishonest or untruthful ones. In fact, lying is a bad habit. It shows insufficiency or decrease of the individuality. Cowardice or being afraid of something are one of its major merits.  

The previous production leads to the story of   that shepherd who used to lie to his village people.

Once upon a time, a shepherd took his sheep to a pasture to eat the grass. While the sheep were eating the grass he felt bored. He said to himself, (why don't I have some fun. Let me play with those imbeciles). He shouted to the people of the village,

 (help! Help! The wolf is eating the sheep, the wolf is eating them).

hearing his shouts, the villagers ran to him quickly carrying their weapons to fight the wolf. To their surprise, they found nothing. The sheep ate the grass while the shepherd was laughing. They went back to the village. The next day, he repeated the same action.

(Help! Help! The wolf is eating the sheep) The villagers came to his rescue but this time, he was smiling. No wolf or any other wild animal was there. This time, the villagers knew that the boy was only lying and fooling them.

On the third day, three real wolves appeared  from the side of the mountain and the shepherd could not see them. Then, they approached the sheep and started to tear eat them one by one. Suddenly, the shepherd saw this and started to shout and ran towards the village,

 ( Help! Help! The wolf is eating the sheep. I 'm not lying, why don't you believe me?)

 The villagers heard him but they thought that he was lying.  No one believed him. The wolves ate the sheep and then ran after the shepherd and grabbed him by his foot and cut the rest of his body till he was gone.

  • Merci beaucoup mon ami! Thanks, Abdennour for your nice comment!

  • Hindi tyak na hindi! God is The Truth. God is The Right. He does not lie. God bless! We lie to cover the truth, but He is the truth. Thanks Risty for commenting!

  • Sir Dara, there is one person who can't lie, I mean it was impossible for Him to lie-Almighty God. We humans, are prone to sin, unwillingly we lied to protect other people, lying is indeed terrible but it depends upon the intention. First sentence is a fact, the second is opinion.Thanks for sharing this, I still remember this story but I don't know exactly if the boy has been eaten by the wolves. 

  • Terima kasih banyak Fitma, dan selamat perpuasa! By the way, because of Ramadan, I have many cartoons of dates to be distributed. If you know anyone who is coming to Umrah or Hajj this year, please, inform me so as to give him or her about it. Thanks for your comment on the blog.

  • Nice story.... Once you make dishonest, all your life people didnt respect with you. When we tell something honest they didnt believe you.…...this story remind us about honesty 

  • Donnobad RK! Dewi is very pleased to see your writing and your encouragement to her. May God bless you. 

  • Baiklah Dewi, be what you are a proud and faithful woman. 

  • Terima kasih kembali Dewi. When someone  harasses or annoys you, ignore him. The more you give him some attention the ruder he becomes. act as if he does not exist. It's the only way to treat or rather to behave against such kind of Characters. Don't they have sisters or mothers or even wives? Life is full of weird and strange things. Thanks again for your comment on the blog. 

  • Donnobad RK! You have really given  a good number of examples to lady Dewi.  Thanks for your time. I agree with you, it's totally different when you mean to hurt someone intentionally than saving his life. I really appreciate your time to explain to Dewi that point. Thanks again.

  • Pertama tama, maaf untuk keterlambatan jawaban saya. Kemarin  Koneksi saya di internet tidak baik.  I can summarize that by this  Hadeeth by Prophet Mohammed, (paboabuh), "Deeds are by intentions"

    The main objective here is the intention and what lies in the heart. If I worship Allah for the sake of people seeing me doing that, it's not acceptable.  Mr. Seeker and other members gave the same example like you and your mom.  Lying  in the case of reconciliation is not a sin. There are always exceptions, my dear good friend Dewi. Lying is generally bad, but different situations occur.  Regarding the corrections, I have sent them to your inbox. Thanks, Dewi!
