It is not a good idea to lie to yourself

Liars must have a good memory, because one lie leads to the next, and to the next. So often people speak about the lie that has been told to them., because you sound convincing.

It is of the utmost importance that the person telling the lie tells the lie in such a manner that those listening find the lie truthful, hilarious, exciting or even sad. Liars seem to have those techniques. You are actually lying to yourself, and as the saying goes: “Lying through your teeth”. You convince yourself to believe your lies. Some people live a life of lies, but unknown to them, those listening to them sooner or later discover that they are living in a world of fantasy, and telling lies in order to be popular, feel great or boost their image. When the truth is revealed, that they are actually liars, they lose the credibility they once had.

Lying to yourself brings negativity from all angles as the realities of situations are not addressed. You are not fooling any body but yourself. Your reputation is at stake and whatever you tell people, they would, “take it with a pinch of salt”. People will see you as one that cannot be believed, however when you do tell the truth they would not believe you either, due to your bad track record. Many people have paid a terrible price for the lies they have told so lying to yourself can also be a dangerous hobby.

You find people who call it “white lies” while a lie remains a lie and under no circumstances can it be justified. Lying to yourself is a serious, and as the saying goes: “the truth will be revealed”. Let us not be liars as we would like to be a cut above the rest, but rather truthful and gain respect for it.
