People all over the world have found an easy way to get out of tricky and awkward situations. Whenever we do something that we know is wrong or that whichdoes not meet the approval of others, we lie.

If we break something that is very precious to our, we lie and say that we did not have anythingdo with it. If we lose something or if we get late for .an appointment, we make excuses and say that we got held up in a traffic jam or any other lie that comes to our mind seems useful to get us out of the embarrassing situation.

Not only children but adults also tell lies. In fact as people grow older the nature of the untruth that they speak also becomes more calculated and sometime harmful.

Deceiving people by telling those lies about them – inother words flattering them to get something out of them, false praise to exploit someone's weakness –all these are means of using lies to ones advantage.

If a person is known to be a liar no one will ever trust such a person. Liars can never be depended upon and they can never make good friends. Lies always gets oneinto more problems because one lie perpetually leadsto another and soon the liar gets caught up in the net of his own fabricated stories.

To remain truthful one need to be very courageous, if one restrains oneself from telling lies, one often has to face the wrath of people who are displeased by his actions, but in the long run the honest person always wins and most people respect him. Lying is a short cut out of problems - one must always remember that this is the worst habit that one can develop.

One should be careful not to let this habit take root inis and if it does, we must make every effort to check ourselves before we tell a lie and get ourselves into more-trouble than we already are in.
