It Is Wrong to Tell a Lie

An Essay

It is commonly believed that lying is wrong. Despite this fact, I believe, nobody

can tell that they have never told a lie in their life (and their words still might not

be true). It is really hard to imagine a completely truthful person for lying is an es-

sential part of human psychology. In my view, in some cases it might even be a

survival factor and the statement that had been put in the heading of this essay is

only half true.

We often tell lies when we do not want to harm another person's feelings. Ap-

parently, all of us have at least once lied about someone's appearance or attitude.

Such lies are often called 'white lies' for its harmless nature. These lies are innocent

and unoffending and cannot be regarded as something wrong. Although, some-

times it’s too uncomfortable to keep our feelings inside and keep our mouths shut.

This is a great moral dilemma which, in my opinion, has no right answer.

Some situations include lying at all stages, for example, the politics. It is naive

to believe that everything the government says is true, but sometimes they need to

conceal some facts not to cause unrest in the society. Nevertheless, this does not al-

ways help, and riots, revolutions and wars can be the worst outcomes of lying. This

argument reveals the double side of a lie, which is good and bad at the same time.

As regards variety of lies, there are certain types of lying which is not always re-

garded as lying itself. For instance, exaggerating or belittling of information, pro-

viding information with double meaning or any other distortion of the real fact is

also, strictly speaking, a lie. Some typical lies usually include for example, the

well-known tales about birth for children. Moreover, there are dangerous types of

lies such as self-deception.

Dear friend,

I hope this letter finds you soon. I am sorry for not having replied to your mail earlier. I was on a trip to Georgia (Caucasus) and came back just some day ago. I'd like to fill you in on the details of my trip. The most important part of the trip was that I got to experience to climb to mountain and walk forest. 

We had just arrived in Gerorgia when the skies began to shining. I had gone to Georgia alone and absolutely delighted with the experience. I felt like little child, these mountain it was like green carpet. I picked up some necesarry things and go to climb. Before long,other people on the streets were also doing the same and to put it lightly, it was cool. 

My climb to the mountain was not easy, it was hard, at first I walked across the plain, after I crossed the bustling river, and then the most interesting thing, climbing the mountain, began. It was a mountain covered with dense forest. The trees were very tall. When I got up several times I fell. But after three hours of climbing, I reached my goal. It was a waterfall.

when I returned I slipped and fell into a grove. Since it was too much and my sneakers were wet, I stayed there for a while. I started calling for help, but there was no one nearby. And if they were from no one would have heard it anyway because were a noisy river and a dense forest,.

It was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. It was warm. I shall have to stop here for now, please write to me when you get this mail.
