Lies
In the world we are getting use to see people lying and doing bad things like stealing or hurting themselves or others. The people that lived a couple of decades ago didn’t see this kind of behaviors. As frequently as we are doing nowadays because these people had principles, values and they respect what the rules of their religion said. In this world where we live people is no longer seeing these behaviors as a bad thing. That is why people are starting to write books about this kind of behaviors. One example is the book pretty little liars. This book is about five best friends that have a lot of dirty secrets among them. But this book doesn’t talk about the consequences of doing bas things and telling lies. The consequences of doing bad things and not telling the truth are losing your families trust, you will never feel peace and doing bad things and telling lies becomes a habit.
Doing bad things and not telling the truth brings you a lot consequence. One of them is that your family stops trusting you. In the book Pretty Little Liars the main characters did a lot of bad things. There were their dirty secrets. One event that happened in the book is the perfect example to explain this consequence. It is when Spencer (one of the friends) kissed her sister’s boyfriend, when she was in seventh grade and the only one that ever knew this was Alison. When she grew up she met her sister´s hot British boyfriend and she started to flirt with him. When she did this “A” send her messages reminding her, what she did in seventh grade and that she is going to tell her sister what she did in seventh grade and what she is doing right now and also tell everyone. At the end she ends up having sex with her sister’s boyfriend and all her family found out and she lost their trust and they were angry with her. So if you don’t tell the truth your family will stop trusting you and perhaps they would never forgive you

    I think it is good that you shouldn't say anything at all instead of lying, but in the book, this is said to be the cruelest type of lies. Stereotypes create lies because a group of people's actions caused bad things to happen. Some lies are straightforward, and purpose is to avoid the truth all together. It's seems that the author believes lying is important in order to not hurt peoples feelings and to be successful and happy. Being dishonest is a cover-up for pain, hurt, guilt, or ignorance. I don't agree with author in something's that she says. It is true that lying may cover up pain, but the truth will always solve the problem.…

    The truth tears people apart, and more often than not it’s better that people don’t hear the full story. The novel, The Great Gatsby, outlines this point extraordinarily well. The first, and most powerful example from this novel, involves Wilson, the broken owner of a run-down auto shop. Wilson's life came to a crashing halt when he discovered Myrtle, his wife, is having an affair. He immediately decides to skip town with Myrtle to escape the corruption of the east. He went from being a decently happy man, to a man who had his ego crushed, and his confidence ruined. Interestingly, nothing changed at all regarding the reality of Wilson’s life. Myrtle was always having the affair, and Wilson was always ridiculed by her. In fact, only Wilson's view of reality has changed; his ignorance toward Myrtle's secret life no longer tricked him. Wilson’s ignorance protected him, and showed him the world he would have rather lived in. If he would have remained ignorant, not only would he have remained happy, but Myrtle would never have ran into the street at all. Simple knowledge destroyed Wilson’s life, and ultimately ended it. This goes to show that people can not always handle reality in its purest form. There will always be something someone would rather have not known. So, just like Wilson, we live our lives partially ignorant to, and partially ignoring, the fact that reality, in its truest form, will tarnish even the boldest of…

    The Ways We Lie Analysis

    • 1327 Words

    An issue that has been highly controversial regarding honesty has been whether it is ever right to lie. Some people would argue that lying is not always morally wrong. From this perspective, telling a lie can be beneficial because the truth sometimes causes more damage than a lie would. To illustrate, a person might lie about how someone looks so that they are not offended. However, others argue that it is never morally right to lie. Stephanie Ericsson, who maintains this view, argues in her essay “The Ways We Lie” that “When someone lies, someone loses” (425). According to this view, a lie always leads to someone being negatively affected. Therefore, lying is wrong because it always results in someone being harmed. In sum, the issue is whether lying is moral or immoral.…

    We have grown up and a lot of things may have changed. One of the things that hasn’t changed is we still need secrets in our life. There are millions of reasons why we keep secrets. One of the common reason is we don’t want to hurt people around us. Even married couple hides secrets from each others.

A lie told to spare someone’s feelings. A lie about something trivial, which will have few consequences if you’re caught. A minor, polite, or harmless lie, a white lie is considered harmless as opposed to a black lie which is evil. Anything that is not accurate is a lie.…
