Nida - Telling lies is sometimes bad

          What are lies? In the dictionary it says that to tell a lie is to purposely say something that is not true because you want to make other people believe it. All of us lie at some time in our life,Even some of the most respected people sometimes lie.

          Telling lies is sometimes bad.According to some facts,'when you are a little kid",what you want to do most is please your parents.Little kids sometimes think it will make their parents mad if they tell the truth about doing something wrong and then they find their parents get even madder when the kid tells a lie!.In my view as I get older I see other people telling lies or not telling the truth, So I might see adults telling everyone to do one thing and doing something different themsalves and another thing, Maybe there are times "when it doesn't seem like a good idea to tell the truth" then you say nothing. Is that same as telling lies? In my opinion I think lots of people thought that saying nothing was the same as telling bad lies if someone elsa got into trouble when it was your or fault or someone was not safe like they had done sometimes wrong or foolish and would do it again if they thought they would not be found out eg:stealing,taking,bruge,taking a bad rish.   

         When its sometimes ok to tell lies "white lies" for example can be using good manners like "thank you but I couldn't eat another piece",so that your host can have the last piece of cake,you don't hurt people's feelings like "Thank you for a lovely present." Even if it's not what you really want, or even if you hate it or keeping 'good' secrets like pretending that you don't know what dad has bought for mum's birthday.

         All these examples point out that lie,in particular everything has it sown advantages and disadvantages. Now that you know it "What will you choose to be a liar or truth teller?" In my opinion both are fine,so I choose to be both when the time is right.
