Little Lies make our life easier

Lies play a major role in our survival and welfare. It sounds nothing close to truth, but in fact we use lot of lies in our day to day life and successfully avoid a quarrel, fist fight and particularly a bad day. Lets take for an example, is your girl dumb enough when you say "I won't drink in todays mens party".

But in fact, little lies like "You are the most beautiful woman in the whole world" makes the life spicy and softer. My close friend used a superb phrase on his girlfriend's birthday. He said "Do you know apples all over the world were all pale white". Out of curiosity, she asked "really, how did they turn red?". He said "this amazing miracle happened on your birthday 22 years back. They saw you, the beautiful gorgeous angel come to this world and those pale little apples grew jealous and turned red". A well crafted lie indeed, but he made the day for her.

when do lies work in a constructive manner:

(1) Telling a story:
Is there any non fiction books that follow the protocols of reality. Imagination or whatever, yet lies are lies and they make us feel lighter, ease away our worries and feel relaxed for that time. Why forget movies. Actor Arnold in the climax of commando, fires and kills several thousands of men. They do fire at him, but not one single bullet could get him. I enjoyed the movie. Everyone knows what reality is. But those lies make us feel powerful. Didn't you feel amazingly confident, sparky and ready to fight anyone, when you come out of those out of reality action movies.

(2) Sweeping off the feat:
I already told you how my friend made it a day for his girlfriend with his apple story. I love the movie Hitch for the showing how tricky is it to let your real you sleeping when you fall in love. And remember when we are in love, we tell the most number of lies. We want to pretend to the guy/ girl our partner likes, rather than who we are. We say lot of "I can't live without you, honeys". Are you sure, you are still with them ... if not,then you must be dead now. Little lies made your days spicer and it was good for us to say and hear, isn't it.

(3) To the kids:
We all know there is no Santa Claus. We entertain the kids each year saying "Santa claus will bring you what you like to get this year". Not just that, we also tell lot of our own stories to our kids, spicing up with superman kind of heroism. All these do no bad and kids do like them.

(4) I am late because:
The very most used lie "I am late because the bus came late". My most used lie "The foods were served late in college mess" whenever i go late to college. At school, college, work and at home, we tell lot of little lies to keep out life go smoother. What would happen if you tell the truth "Honey, your friend looks gorgeous than you", "Sir, I didn't take leave for my friends funeral, I actually went to superbowl".

Its very evident that most of us like little lies. We want to be appreciated and recognised even when we have done a very bad job. And when we do get appreciation, we want to feel that is true.

Unless the lie hurts someone, its a great asset for a fantastic life. Leave your comments for me. By the way, I dont mind if you put a little comment "Ashok, this is a nice article". Little lies, spicy life ha.

With luv,
