The art of Lying
When I was still a kid, I remember my teacher telling us that it's ok to lie as long as its for a good cause and it's petty.. she even has a name for it --white lies. She's so wrong , whether for good valuable reasons or how light or serious the matter on hand is, it's still a LIE.
I have learned that there's no such thing as white lies-- there can only be a bad and good liar. And I consider it an ART. A war of the minds.. the objective of the which is to convince the other person to believe what you say. People lie--it's part of human nature. It's what they are. And I am no excuse, hey.. I'm only human (or I would like to think that way). I do stupid things and what better way to escape the fury and wrath than to give a good excuse. Yes, for me lying is a synonym to excuses. You say things to save your own butt or soul or whatever. It's an art to be learned. A craft to be mastered. I have seen bad liars.. and I tell you-- they are easily caught and they are kinda pathetic really for they come up with stupid reasons. Good liars are good artist, they can tell you a lie and you'll believe them. there's just no way or even a hint that what they are telling you is something that's made up or out of their imaginations. This is the art of lying:
Think of all possible consequences.
Think of a contingent plan, or follow up statements that would affirm your lie to be the truth. (read it slower, you'll understand it better)
Look straight into the other person's eyes. They would think that you have nothing to hide.
Be assertive. Answer questions straight to the point.
Act as if you are telling the truth.. that 'll scare them off. Hehehe
If you got caught.. don't ever tell them the truth. It'll taint you forever.
We live in a world where lie outnumbered the truth. Lie if you must just Don't live it…don't breath it.
"girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short; wear shirts and boots... it's okay to be a boy. but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading because you think that being a girl is degrading. but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? what it feels like for a girl..." --madonna
