“When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another.”

Paul Hatch

Reflection:

The quote tells us that when one lie is said then it is impossible to stop lying after that. It also tells us that to protect our truths we should just resort to not lying. An example of this is that you lie and say that you forget your homework at home and then become lazy and end up not doing your homework but come up with different lies to not having your homework. Another example if if you lie to your friends about anything then you have to keep coming up with lies to cover up the first lie. Also an example is if you lie to your parents and tell them you finished your chores. When you lie it not only affects you but the people around you also get hurt by your lies. Even though you tell a lie to defend someone it hurts them because they think that you can’t trust them enough to tell the truth. A lie that is told to your friend is taken as betrayal and they start to question all the the truths you have told them. It is important to tell the truth so there is no doubt in the truths you have told. Another form of lying is excuses because you are lying as to why you did not accomplish something. All problems can be prevented by telling the truth. Not only will you feel great by telling the truth but you will also feel good that you can not be accused of anything.
