Concept in Definition ABC

Expression that contradicts what is known, misrepresentation of reality

A lie is that expression contrary to what is known, believed or thought. Also, to the misrepresentation of some fact or expression, it will be considered a lie.

Generally, the purpose of the lie tends to oscillate between several reasons, such as: to avoid a reproach, a sanction, to do some damage, to obtain some kind of benefit, to hide some painful reality that is not wanted by x reason to make known, to avoid suffering for someone, for habit, among the most recurrent.

The person who lies is popularly known as a liar.

The lie will always be subjective, that is, if a person holds something that is not true but is convinced that he is, then, it cannot be said that he is lying, but if a person affirms a certain question knowing that it corresponds to a non-existent reality, here it can be ensured that it is lying.

A lie can be total (nothing that is being affirmed is real) partial (some questions that are affirmed are truth) and by omission (when all or part of the truth is hidden but without being aware that it is being done; there is no deliberation to lie).

A break in trust

Who lies will be cheating on his interlocutorMeanwhile, it may be that at the moment the person does not notice it and that time passes, but the problem is when the lie is discovered and then, the deceived will have all the right to claim her deception and here at this point is where great conflicts tend to occur because the deceived asks for a compensation or directly decides to break the relationship with the person who lied to him because he no longer considers her trustworthy.

Precisely with the lie what breaks is the confidence that one had deposited in someone and then it is very difficult to believe in that person again.

The disease of lies: mythomania

There are people who suffer from a pathology known as mythomania and that leads them to lie in a systematic and common way about everything. The mythomaniac, as the person suffering from this condition is called, uses lies to justify acts or to create a world imaginary, fictional, in which he tells things that never happened, or if they did, he modifies them to piacere, he says he owns goods that actually does not have.

The main difference between the liar and the mythomaniac is that the former resorts to lies on occasion punctual and sporadic, while the mythomaniac uses the lie constantly, and as we said so pathological.

Morally, any lie is worthy of reproach, meanwhile, if viewed from a legal point of view, it may constitute a crime, such as false testimony, slander or insults.

There are also some lies that the only objective they have is to joke.

Meanwhile, the Christian religion considers lies a sin, because here the one who lies is the Devil, because God never lies or sends his children to lie.

Some examples of lies: when the husband cheats on his wife and does not tell him, but keeps it hidden, who claims to have a title professional, a good or a social status and in reality does not possess anything, who claims to love, but in reality does not, among others.

Y the white lie is that lie that is told with the sole intention of not causing someone pain. For example, a girl will not be told that her pet died, but that she went on a trip for a while so that she does not suffer.

Better not lie

Lying is something absolutely negative, it is not good at all to lie and therefore, even in cases in which it is believed that lying will be doing good, it is not like that. The best and advisable thing is to always go with the truth.
