How bad or good can one lie? Usually there's no tellin it off. Even the most hardcore and coldest of liars could still look into your eyes and claim their innocence with full conviction. It's our constant fatality to perceive from the superficial. White lies, exaggeration and all that fancy talk included please. Yet, we are simply impressed.
Who lies? Politicians, religious leaders, rockstars, parents, teachers, salesmen, beggars, you and I. Everyone and anyone, at one point of time. Yet, we claim our intolerence and are repelled by people who lie.
Why do we lie? Monetary gain, dictatorship, accomplishing personal vendetta at the expense of innocent people, earn street credit, self-denial, false hope, to embed false doctrines and blasphemous theories and fear of the ultimate TRUTH. Yet, we revolve on an axis of lies.
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth" - Lenin
