falcon,
ask yourself why you lied..maybe you don't want to hurt another person's feeling.
you want to protect yourself or fear the consequences of telling the truth, you want don't want your relationship to get affected or maybe you just want to avoid inconvenient situations. you lie some more to cover the last fat lie until you find yourself trapped in the habit.
credibility is grounded on truth. lying makes it impossible to relate to others with trust and respect..how often have a lie ruined a relationship?? multiply that in various situations and what you have is a society in chaos.
be convinced that telling the truth is better. remember the principle; "the truth shall set you free". guilt makes us miserable. truth frees us of the guilt and anxiety. if we distort the truth either to protect ourselves or protect relationships, expect our behavior to backfire because no amount of self denial can stem our unhappiness for long. this is motivation enough to stick to the truth even if it hurts. sometimes, lying may seem a reasonable option, "baka kung anong gawin nung tao kung sasabihin ko ang totoo."
granted! there may be situations that call for delaying or "mental reservation",
this means you don't exactly tell the whole truth; you just choose to complete the picture in a more appropriate time. but then again, a person who's lost his honor has lost a thing of great value.
i know now why you lied and i understand...i'm not mad at you falcon...
love
swordfish
