It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.
There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions.
It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.
If we were to abandon concern for what is true, what is false, and what remains indeterminate, the world would be totally chaotic. Even those who deny the importance of truth, on the one hand, are quick to jump on anyone who is caught lying.
I can't say why people lie; they just do. Everyone has their own reasons for not telling the truth.
The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.
There are a lot of people who lie and get away with it, and that's just a fact.
There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.
If you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.
