Lying will make you loose self respect, people will no longer believe in you anymore, even when you are saying the truth or not, but for the fact that, you used to lie or you once lie, they will still consider that which you said as lies.
We should endeavor to lived a free life out from lies.
I would never forget when i asked a friend about the activities they did in school that day, instead of him being open to me and telling me what really happened in school, he decided to carve out some facts and he tells me few parts of the story and added something which was of no value to me.
I now said, in that case, i didn't missed a lot for staying away from school today, but not knowing he was not been honest with me, instead of him telling me the things that happens in school, what he did tell me was a different story, so that i would not have knowledge about what was going on in the school.
When i was in school the following day, i was told the truth, it all became clear to me and i could see that at times he used to lie and since then i do not take anything he said as important since he uses to lie.
Because his opinions does not count to me anymore means he has looses his self worth in my presence.
