A lie is a statement made by someone that is false and that the person making it knows is false, especially with the intention to deceive others. In common understanding, a lie is, therefore, an intentional untruth or concealment of the truth, told in order to damage another’s reputation or evoke certain feelings from others. People tell lies for many different reasons. Some common reasons are to avoid getting in trouble, cover up an embarrassing situation, or to cover up the fact that one is lying. Even though covering up a lie can be done easily by just telling the truth, people often try to cover up the lie with another lie. Lying can have a negative affect on both personal and professional life. Lying is the by product of Jealousy’s , anger and resentment. For example, if an individual is attempting to buy a house or car from someone, they may be mislead or tricked into buying something that they do not want or cannot afford because the seller told them what they wanted to hear. On the other hand, lying in a professional setting can cost someone their job. For example, an individual might lie about having experience in order to get a job where they are required to have the experience. If the employer finds out that the individual lied on their resume, they may get fired because of it.
