I turned up the radio today and a very interesting topic was brought up by Daniel Ong on Perfect 10 98.7fm Morning Madness - The Lies We Tell. What started all this? Apparently Dan read it somewhere that Tyra Banks of the ANTM fame told models to lie about their age to get more jobs. Liar liar pants on fire, thats how we heard the kids chant. Here I know I grew up hearing that if we lie, our tongue will be cut off in hell. Lies are bad, that one we know but sometimes we just go on to autopilot to lie just to save ourself. Anyway, the respond that Dan got this morning through SMS was overwhelming. Some lies were interesting and funny and some were just downright bad.
Interesting one - a single woman lied to everyone that she is attached because she was getting sick of the disbelief faces that she got when she tells people that she's single but in the end she face problem because she fell for a collegue that is so sure that she's single. That remind me of the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Funny ones - someone was giving a girl the direction to the gents room instead of the ladies because of the lack of sign on the door. Sound like and everyday prank to me.Sadly though Dan received lots of lies told from husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends who cheats. One cheating girlfriend actually survived the two timing for a year until her boyfriend dumped her for another girl which she said her karma - what goes around comes around. Well I do believe that when you do something, it always gets back to you.
People in general always categorise lies in 3 different categories.
1) White lies - Also known as the lies that is necessary for the other person's good. The example could be seen in the movie Liar Liar where Jim Carrey's character admits to his son that he lied to his wife when she was pregnant, telling her that she was beautiful instead of the huge elephant that he thought she was at that time.
2) Half truth - Okay, so it is basically not lying but with-holding some information from the other side. Thats how we see it but to some half truths are also a lie. Imagine withholding information from your boss that you have called a client - last week. In truth, you have called the client, only the when part is in question.
3) Downright bad lie - Bad lie either means, a really bad lie to get what someone want no matter the consequences that in the end will hurt a lot of people around including the liar himself or a really bad lie told by a beginner liar, hahaha. Kidding. Of course its the first one. That was mainly how a good company, a family or a relationship falls down.
I'm sure everyone had been lied at and have their share of lying too throughout their lives. Well, no need to say more that lying is bad, everyone knows about it but sometimes some people just can't help it. Being lied at hurts, everyone knows that too. A word from Daniel Ong to wrap it all up - Lying is bad, but if you do don't get caught, hahahaha. The show is called Morning Madness for a reason - Its crazy, its mad and its funny. An online friend told me - Everyone lies, only at what degree they are lying is not determined. That would wraps up the entry for today.
