We all lie, but why do we lie?
Sure, lying is both useful and sometimes even fun, but I don't think is good when we give fake truth to others.
yet there are fundamental reasons why we lie.
These main reasons are:
- Fear of harm: The easiest reason to understand why we lie is for self protection, including self deception, to prevent harm to ourselves. This harm can be either physical or mental.
- Fear of conflict: To some degree, we all fear having an argument.
- Fear of punishment: When growing up, how often did we lie about how well we did in school, or who started a fight? How often do we cover up our mistakes and transgressions?
- Fear of rejection: Sometimes, our insecurities are the foundation of why we lie to each other, because we want to be remain popular in our relationships. Typically, it is harmless boasting to make ourselves appear more admirable to other people.
- Fear of loss: This is usually the loss of personal objects, such as money or expensive valuables. Greed is the foundation for this reason and can be found in each of us. We often lie to make ourselves more desirable to other people too. Most common, Other times, when our self esteem starts to decline, we even lie to ourselves as means to prevent loss of morale.
- Altruistic Reasons: We often lie to help our friends and loved ones. How often do we flattery someone just to make them feel better? This is the only selfless reason why we lie.
The Qur'an says that God (Allah), knows the secrets of all peoples' hearts and when somebody lies. Therefore according to the Qur'an, God cannot be fooled by lies and those who lie not only destroy their souls but the lie will be destroyed by the truth. Liars will be called to account on the Day of Judgment and God will not guide them. In at least three different places, the Qur'an indicates that liars will suffer.

Well Dany, everybody say lies. There are lies that are small or a little bit larger and it will be not take you long time to forgot them. But there are lies that are big, so big that destroy your life! Here in Greece we have some people who tell us so big lies and they destroy our lifes. They are political and govern us. They say that they will make a better country. They say that are the side of poor people and they will stop the speculation. They say that they will reduce taxes. Not only they don't do anything from all these but they grab a lot of money from the people through taxes and finally they say ¨Together we grabbed them¨. They have salary 10.000E and they want to reduce our salaries from 750E to 500. These people are the biggest liars in the world.

Lying is a sin. We can't hide any secrets to God. He is always watching over us.
I lied before but when I felt the consequences..I don't want to do it again.
Honesty is the best policy.
Night again Dany!
