RE: Little Lies, Big Consequences

in Hive Learners7 days ago

Lying is also addictive, that is why those who lie for a living "fraudsters" find it difficult to live an honest life. I believe life is not black and white, having a fixed mindset about subject such as this will only end up doing more harm than good.

I also believe truth should prevail at all times but we should also be able to ask ourselves, hope you are not doing more harm than good? Because even the truth could be used as a weapon against people. I have experienced situations when telling the truth caused so much havoc.

This is the reason why the media mostly tell partial truth because people can't handle the truth at the moment, which is the main basis of gatekeeping information.

Yes, you are right. Though there are moments speaking the truth could cause more harm than good. This is why most people feel too comfortable telling lies just to cover up and prevent harm which they term as white lies but in all, lie is lie no matter how it was presented and for what purpose but to me, though, it's something hard, coming out honest is good.
