Liars are the worst.

Going to keep this simple.

Best part of telling the truth, is not having to remember anything.

This community is SMALL, people WILL find out.
And so have I. Disappointed.

Don't ever think us professionals aren't getting their share of disappointing experiences either.

I'm keeping this vague.
Purposely.

Because you know if the shoe fits.
It's your shoe after all.

But if you lie to others because you think it's the easiest solution, you're going to lose a lot of genuine people in the process. Like myself.

So lesson of the day:
say dumb things, get dumb prizes.

    Sorry about this. Worst thing someone can do to me is lie to me.

  • LovelightLovelight

    Depending on the lie, I won't call them the worst. Though I agree that it's pretty bad, having been lied to here and there I've lost trust in those people. One of them tried being my friend and the lie he told was one that made me look bad too. Yet he never owned up to it either. So I knew I couldn't keep some like that as a friend.

    Anyway whatever it was, sorry you had to go through it. Hopefully you will soon feel better.

    This is off topic, but I like the pic you have up front with the four legged friends.

    There is an interesting, if admittedly maddening, dichotomy between how much we abhor lies in personal relationships and how much we rely upon lies for our day to day culture to function.

    And that in between area tends to cause the most interpersonal friction, and also the most personal growth.

    I agree, and like you said it’s too much work trying to remember all the lies. But from meeting some people here I have to say it’s given me hope.

    In my religion lying is a big sin especially been witness while you lying to oppress someone. Or someone accused you of doing something to ruin your life and you didn't do. that's why I believe in justice in the judgement.

    The biggest liars are affluent, your local politician, presidents, and people we are infected with or fall for. So idk I guess half truth ain't to bad to get ahead. Not saying it's right but that's what I have seen in my life

  • timetocuddle07timetocuddle07

    Infected meant infatuated

  • [Deleted User]sage_wisdom (deleted user)

    agreed. Lying is not cool. but let’s not forget, NO ONE is perfect. NO ONE is without mistakes. NO ONE is without faults. So pointing fingers, name calling, and vilifying other people for something we as human beings have ALL done at some point in someway in their lives is NOT going to help propel humanity forward.

    @timetocuddle07 I agree with you in our modern time lying has become a fashion people love liars and vote for them . in ancient time people hate liars greeds no one will like you because you are a liar or greedy. I only lie if my life at risk been honest can put you in truble one time one customer swore at me and i swore back at him when my manager asked me did you swear at him i was honest i said yes. then lost my job if i lied i could have saved my job.

    The only power people will have over you is the power you give them

  • [Deleted User]sage_wisdom (deleted user)

    I am nobody’s judge and executioner , but my own. everyone will eventually receive what they deserve for their actions.

  • Ahmedali999Ahmedali999

    @sage_wisdom give an example

  • [Deleted User]sage_wisdom (deleted user)

    If lying is truly always 100% as horrible as almost everyone here believes it is, then we would feel no reason to have lawyers, politicians, infomercials, etc…
    these people lie professionally and people pay $$$$$$$$$$ for it.

    2 things I have zero respect for - lying & stealing.

    @sage_wisdom you made good point sometimes lying can save life but most cases lying is bad and it's a sign of hypocrisy sometimes someone says he loves you from you back he/she stabs you i hate liars except if is a joke.

    speaking for myself, the worst thing someone could possibly do to me something that I deem absolutely unforgivable inexcusable is kill me.

    Right!! like when we ask people “How are you?” (though we are not truly interested in listening to how that person is doing or what is going on in their life to that makes them feel how they are feeling).
    Vise versa. people seldom give a proper answer to that question. just a quick good, well, okay, fine.
    We just want to carry on thinking everything around us is honky dory even if it is not realistic or truthful.

    Without pain and hurt, there would be no compassion.

  • [Deleted User]CharlesThePoet (deleted user)

    @sage_wisdom

    Exactly the first example that I would have used.

    Are we related?

    That is called lying to oneself which is why your original assertion is accurate that condemning people for lying is hypocrisy. Otherwise we need to ostracize ourselves from our ourselves which is difficult to do because who would get the last word—the ourself that lied or the ourself condemning the lie? Lies, lies, lies yeah.

    @sage_wisdom "though we are not truly interested in listening to how that person is doing or what is going on in their life to that makes them feel how they are feeling"

    I'm certainly not a part of that "we" cause I neither use "how are you" in place of "hello" nor ask if I don't actually care and don't have sometime to invest if needed.

    Though moreso, unfortunately cause either many ask just to be nice. Or maybe many perceive most, especially who don't know them that well, don't care about how they actually are: we are left with this wall between us.

    Though I'd say "I'm fine/okay" is the bare minimum someone could respond with and most of us, usually are fine/okay if the grand scheme of things is considered. To get more indepth than that usually requires trust, willingness, patience and at times reassurance. So I don't think giving such a response is a lie. If I don't know or trust someone like that, then I choose which version of me to show them. A bird's eyeview or a more indepth view of my feelings.

    @Lovelight which is completely fair. I do the same. however, you can’t deny that if you are not doing well and you say you are doing good, okay, or what have you is a lie. a lie is something that is not the truth. a lie is a lie is a lie is a lie. That is all. but we as humans have the privilege of privacy. we do not owe anyone else anything. Nor do other people owe us anything. information is a privilege.

  • TheFunCartelTheFunCartel

    But to @MissAdventurous ‘ point without parsing lies—the lies professionals are told on a professional basis they have told me about are jaw dropping. Sometimes they are over stupid things, but often serious and the word does get around I am sure. They never tell me names only the stories, so I am sure the names come out when pros talk shop. And that ain’t no lie.

    Céad míle fáilte!

    (Gaelic for “A hundred thousand welcomes!” Meant to convey the giving of perfect hospitality. My people are nothing if not expansive.)

    Hard to explain the pronunciation. YouTube videos are probably easiest.

    That said, “Kayd meel-ah fawl-cha!” is close…

    As weird as English is, Irish Gaelic has it out weirded by a thousand miles. Which is what happens when drunken Jesuit priests translate a language into code books, and those books are stolen and printed without the translation key…

    Actual Gaelic had no written “alphabet”, but rather a series of runic markings based on local tree species called Ogham.
