When everything depends on just one tiny lie, we forget that in order to correct one lie, seven others have to be told.
Everybody lies. It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes. We start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language.Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want. White lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all.The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem.
They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment.
A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law. Lying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves.
how can we detect if we are being lied to....
If you notice the person you talking to avoiding an eye contact or looking down during a specific part of a conversation, or if there is a variation in pitch of their voice or rate of speech-it can be a sign of lying.
... They most plentifully prove, that if occasion of doing good require, we may sometimes tell a lie... And to this rule they apply all the instances of lying which are produced from the Old Books,
and are found not reprehended, or cannot be reprehended: either they are approved on the score of a progress towards improvement and hope of better things, or in virtue of some hidden signification they are not altogether lies.
