Each of us has some sort of inner dream, I am no exception. I wanted to be a doctor, but I never had the chance to realize my dream because my financial situation made my life miserable and I ended up getting a worthless degree. I worked two jobs to earn a college degree and to improve my parents' lives. If my parents had taken some initiative I would have become a doctor and made my life and theirs much easier. I know, my story is really pitiful, except for the fact that everything I just told is a lie. Does this sound shocking? I lied just to get the reader's attention and make my article more interesting. I'm not alone because people lie to save themselves from an unlikely situation, to shift blame, to avoid confrontation, perhaps to make themselves feel better, or to get the attention of others just like me. It's not me, on average people lie twice a day ; it's hard to believe, but it's true (DePaulo, Kashy, Kirkendol, Wyer, & Epstein, 1996). If we started lying around age 3 and lived until we were 70, we would have lied 48,910 times and that's a lot of lies. It's unfortunate that deception has become a major factor in social interaction, and people admit to using it in 14% of their emails, 27% during face-to-face conversations, and 37% during phone conversations (Hancock , 2007). If we say that we have never committed a sin in our life, we have simply deceived ourselves, says the Holy Bible. Each of us would have lied sooner or later. Just because we lie a lot doesn't mean it's an easy job. In fact, lying is very challenging because choirs have to work hard to hide their emotions and expressions. Furthermore, deceivers invest a lot of effort to protect themselves from being caught, so they carefully release… half of the card… their children for their action, actually sends wrong information informing them that they will be punished. for telling the truth. Therefore, children start lying at an early age and continue to tell lies throughout their lives. Works Cited Ekman, P. (2001).
