Lie is a false statement to a person or group made by another person or group who knows it is not the whole truth, intentionally. It’s mean they are hiding the truth or correct information that they didn't want anybody else know.
I’m always been lying to other people for my whole life, I lied to my parent, siblings, families, friends, teachers, colleagues and the worst part is even myself also. I don't remember when my first lie was, but since then I always lie, big or small.
Lying is a very bad habit for everyone. It will cause more harm than any good. Even you're lying to protect yourself or other people, when the truth come out it's always hurt. I found some interesting quotes few days ago about lies, “The Truth May Hurt for a Little While, But a Lie Hurt Forever".
I think this quote is very accurate for what it's mean. Once, I have been caught lying about studying at my friend house in high school but the truth is I went to the cyber cafe to play games with my friend. My parent caught me lying and after that they never trust me when I told them I want to go study at my friend house even though that is the truth. It's really hard for me to gain their trust back. Serve me right because I’m so immature for lying to parent.
When I'm thinking back what have I've done I felt really ashamed about it. I keep thinking why did I lied to my parent that time, maybe I afraid that they will scold me if they found about the truth. If that time I don't lie to my parent and instead I told them the truth, I wonder what will happen. My parent maybe will scold me really bad and grounded me as my punishment. That is the most severe consequences that will i get from them it's not like they will kill me if they caught me lying.
Even though I get caught for lying before, I never stop. I never did because I don't really feel bad when I lied to someone, maybe this is because all the lies that I have done before whether it's big or small. I should be really ashamed about myself for all the lying that I have done. Well, like people always said “Old habit Die Hard”, once you lied you never stop.
The reason why I don’t feel bad because I think I will never get caught, also I just don’t want other people to meddle with my business, in other words just mind their own business. That is the reason why I lied most of the time. But I never feel good either when I’m lying to someone. The only feeling I felt is worried that I will get caught eventually.
After all of these years of constant lying, I think I should stop already. Lying will only bring harm to myself rather that good. I should remind myself every time that if I want to lie to someone, that it’s wrong and lies will hurt more that the truth.
As for now, I would like to promise myself that I will try my hardest not to lie ever again and remember the consequences if I lied to someone. I know it’s going to be difficult for me not to lie but at least it is a started to get rid of this bad habit of mine.
And lastly I would like to apologize mostly to my parents whom I love and respect the most, my family, my friends, my teacher and all of the people that I have been lying to them, I sincerely apologize. And as for me, I will try to keep my promise and I will do my best. FIGHTING!!!!!
