Little White Lies That Turn Into Big Ones

This is proof positive why you should NOT lie to people. When you tell someone a little white lie, no matter your reasons for doing it, you are pushing yourself into a corner you cannot get out of without telling the person you lied and having to fess up to the truth at some point. If you don't get caught in the lie, then you don't have to worry about it. But how often does it happen that we do actually get away with it? Not often I think.

As an example let me bore you with this little story. I told a friend of mine what I thought at the time was a little lie, no big deal. Wrong. As time passed I had to make up more information about the lie because I was too embarrassed to admit the truth. Well, I have now told this person the truth, though I did it in an email like a wimp. I won't know the outcome of this for a few days at least, but I'm terrified of what my friend will say to me. I hope they won't be so mad at me that they stop talking to me but that certainly is a possibility.

Aren't we all taught from a very young age how wrong it is to lie to anyone about anything? I know sometimes in our lives we make a call when we think the lie is the better road to take for various different reasons. But is that really true? I'm not saying that you should always tell everyone exactly what you think, that would just be ridiculous and you'd probably piss a lot of people off that way. I guess I'm just curious about when is it okay to lie? Where do you draw the line? In this case it wasn't anything I consider that big a deal, just a detail about me that I was not truthful about. But again, the little lie itself turned bigger as time went on.

And I truly feel that if you are trying to build a friendship with someone you should not lie to them. A guilty conscious pushed me into telling my friend the truth and I just might regret doing that.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

  1. I think the only time it is safe to lie is when it is about Christmas presents. But doing all your lying at Christmastime seems upsetting. But still... it isn't like you can tell the truth about presents. And now I'm going on and on like I do.

    I'm sure it will all work out Sneaky!!! *snuggles Sneaky*
