Some quotes on lies and dishonesty
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. ~Winston Churchill
A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
—Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948)
People lie and are dishonest for many reasons
.Children lie and are dishonest out of fear that the mother will punish them.In such cases we need to change our attitude which develops fear in the child’s mind and have a friendly and convincing attitude that she will understand the problem rather than punish the child.
Some people lie and are dishonest completely inside ,outside and in all possible ways.We should avoid such people.This has been rightly said by ancient minister Arya Chankya in his chankya neeti where he sites example of Duryodhana who can not be changed come what may.
Some people lie and are dishonest just due to greed,selfishness and lack of good moral values.We should not despise or have attitude of looking down upon them but try to make them see the rightness of the issue so that they atleast attempt to change.Its not easy to shift from dishonesty and lies to honesty and truthfulness.But we have to give the person the time .These people are not weak in character and mind.
Some people lie out of weakness of character.They prefer to hide behind lies and dishonesty.When people don’t achieve their goals due to lack of skill,knowledge efficiency confidence they resort to lying and are dishonest.By lying and being dishonest,these people get out of problem temporarily but get into deeper problem.Here people have to develop sympathetic and positive attitude towards them and pull them out of the situation.They do not wan’t to lie and be dishonest if given help and encouragement they do manage to come out of the problem.The time and patience will be required,the change will not take place overnight.
