Lying is an art.

I grew up believing that lies or liars are not bad at all. 

For example, Lawyers are genuinely categorical liars whose profession permits them to do so, such is the case of medicos, who can’t speak the truth every time, and where there are politicians on this list…they are everywhere, they lie most of the time they speak. 

When I was a kid, my parents taught me that lying is a bad quality, and like a common Indian, they cited the example of none other than the great Mahatma Gandhi.

So, here I am dedicating an entire article on ‘Lie’, with an intrinsic effort to co-relate with what I personally believe and what I am serving in front of you.

Lies are an unreal practice.

Lying is an unrealistic way to save your life. 

It seems inoffensive for some moments.

But then this non-addictive looking practice soon becomes part of our personality,and only then it will be harder for us to judge our own actions to the people around us.

It is a quality and mastering it requires a tough interior, tougher mental power, and a tougher approach to counter the truth with your well-polished lies.

I still remember to stick to the truth and get punished for even the smallest mistakes.

It’s not that my parents never got to know the truth, but whenever they got to know the truth, it was too late to react to it.

Lies can be harmless, too.

• Telling a lie to avoid a direct confrontation.
• Protecting someone’s feelings.
• To arrange some surprises for certain occasions.
• Encouragement in tough times or when in need.
• Protecting vulnerable ones.
• To avoid chaos in case of any emotional outburst.
• Avoiding unnecessary contradictory situations.

There may be many instances when we lie, and there is no harm in it. It is not a case of any kind of voluntary deception, which is why we are living our lives without harming the people around us with our blunt truth.

There is a deep truth in it.

Truth itself can be harmful at times.

Honesty is not the best policy every time we step out in the real world.

When delivered cold-heartedly or without assessing the situations, or time, truth can harm instead of doing good.

Sometimes, sharing a harsh truth at an inappropriate moment can destroy the specialness and sanctity of the occasion, turning a meaningful experience into one filled with discomfort and regret.

There are moments when a simple truth can break a relationship, crush trust, or cause unnecessary distress, and conversely, we may also have moments when a simple lie helps, which is why we must be relatively more prudent to make wise choices instantly.

Liars seem to thrive in today’s world.

While I recognize that telling lies can relieve emotional burdens, we must admit that liars often find life easier than those who choose honesty. The ability to deceive without remorse can lead to a more carefree existence, while honest individuals may face greater emotional challenges. This contrast highlights the complex value of truth versus the convenience of deception.

Liars can be

Such a wide range to describe a person who behest all the acquired humanity to deceive others at any cost.

I don’t get it how some people use their acquired humanity to deceive others at any cost. 

No wonder we still struggle to evolve in how we define ourselves. 

It’s truly shameful to experience this contradiction between what we aspire to be and what we do.

A world of lies; a castle made of straw

“The truth prevails while the liar is disgraced.” This saying has been known throughout history, yet we often find ourselves lying at the slightest opportunity.

But being good is not good everywhere and every time.

You have to respond in support of yourself no matter what comes your way, this is a necessity to protect yourself from cunning people who are always there to make sure that you suffer.

On many occasions, the person resorting to the truth is at the receiving end, while those choosing to lie are seen as comfortable.

Ethics – Lying – BBC

What if you choose to silence your conscience and embark on a path woven with deceit?

Winning the race is one thing, but karma still exists; it often returns when you are in great need or in a vulnerable position. 

By then, no one may be there to support you. 

Do you regret believing their lies?

The challenge faced by good people is that they fall into the deceptive traps without even realising it. Often, bad people utilize manipulation and deceit, leading the unsuspecting individuals to trust them. 

Any kind of betrayal can result in deep disappointment and regret, as they reflect on how they were misled and the harm that ensued from their misplaced trust.

Be anything but a liar.

Conclusion 

Don’t allow negative individuals to exploit your kindness.

Never fall victim to their manipulative tactics. 

Never be an easy target for their psychological control. 

They excel at concealing their wrongdoing while accusing you, so always remain vigilant against any unethical behavior on their part.

You are completely responsible for your safety, no one will do this for you. 

Staying away from manipulators and liars is essential to protect your mental health.

Lies, lies, and lies: Liars are flourishing in today’s world.

Conclusion: When Truth Becomes Rare

In a world where deception wears many faces — deceiver, manipulator, fraudster, pretender — the tragedy is not just that lies exist. The real tragedy is that lies are slowly becoming acceptable.

We no longer get shocked by dishonesty. We expect it. We prepare for it. We live cautiously because trust has become fragile. And when trust weakens, humanity begins to erode silently.

A lie may offer temporary power, profit, or protection — but it always extracts a deeper price. It steals credibility. It damages relationships. It weakens the moral fabric that holds society together.

Truth may not always be loud. It may not always win quickly. But it carries something deception never can — peace of conscience.

Perhaps the real question is not why liars are flourishing in today’s world. The real question is: Are we courageous enough to remain truthful in a world that often rewards deception?

Because in the end, character is not built in comfort — it is revealed in choices.
