The Story Of Lying And Truth

Our view of lies and truth is truly vague. As a general rule, we all favor the truth. But when what we get or share ourselves is painful or complex, it causes a great deal of psychological conflict.

Lying, as a general rule, is a symptom of mistrust or an inability to deal with problems. On the other hand, lying is like we are behaving viciously, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity.

Society still does not know how to deal with the truth, even though truth and honesty are considered really important.

A story of Lie and Truth

There are many stories that describe the psychological reality of our lives. Here is one of them:

According to this story, one day Lie and Truth collided.

“Good day,” said Valhe.

“Good morning,” Truth replied.

“What a beautiful day today,” said Valhe.

The truth looked up at the sky, and saw that the Lie was telling the truth.

“Yes, today is a beautiful day ,” Truth said.

“The lake is even more beautiful, and also warmer,” Valhe said.

The truth looked in the direction of the lake and found that the Lie was telling the truth again. He looked at the Lie and said, “The water really looks good. Let’s go swimming.”

The truth touched the water with his finger and found that the water was indeed warm. This made him trust the Lie. They both took off their clothes and swam quietly. After a while, the Lie rose from the water, put on the clothes of the Truth, and left.

The truth, unable to put on the clothes of the Lie, walked around the lake naked, and everyone was horrified. This is an example of how people would rather accept a lie dressed as truth than a naked truth.

The ambiguity between lie and truth

We combine good values ​​with honesty. Relationships based on lies are as fragile and weak as a house of cards capable of destroying everything when it collapses. However, unaware of the relationship between truth and its complex reproduction, we are constantly telling “half truths” or false realities.

According to a study at the University of Massachusetts, a lie is told every three minutes. Other studies show that one-week discussions consist of 35% lies.

These statistics are a little worrying. We often say we are honest people and we never lie, but this in itself is a lie.

We simply don’t just lie, we lie a lot. We lie about important and significant things. This is easier than explaining and dealing with the brutality of naked truth. People don’t think about the truth, and instead lie really easily. As a result, we tell small and big lies, and cling to a web of lies that is hard to break.

But why do we do that? The answer lies in the fact that the psychological benefits of lying are greater. We do this also because the truth is taking risks. Most of the time, we are tempted to tell lies to protect our integrity and the integrity of other people, or to take advantage of the opportunity.

However, we must not forget that it does not matter how pious the lie is, for it is still an obstacle to the truth. Lying makes us doubt even the most honest things.
