Lying to others and to oneself can bring great unhappiness.
What is lie? Why has lie become an essential part of our everyday life? Do we really need to lie? Answers to all these questions people had been trying to find for many centuries. But having not found truth, we continue to lie day after day. What is most upset and frightful is that people these days lie unintentionally; we do it without a thorough thinking. Lie has become our habit. Today, like it was centuries ago, people are trying to classify lie. According to different life circumstances lie can be divided into an outrageous lie, a fib, a little lie, etc. But as for me, I see only two major reasons why people lie: a lie (no matter of which scale) for benefit and a so-called white lie. From my point of view lying to people and to oneself not always brings unhappiness in one's life, on the contrary, it can save someone's life. And if life of close to me person is depending on my lie, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. From my point of view lying is adoptable in some extreme cases. When we don't really need to tell untruth, why should we? A lie, regardless which particularly (except a white lie), is still a lie.

I think that in such kind of personal situations only God has a right to judge people. Monten said, 'If I lie, I offend myself even more than the one whom I tell lie to'. They realize their status in life, and therefore deliberately deceive themselves. No one has a moral right to judge her or to reproach her for her deed. Only now, having felt it, I would agree with the greatest Russian writer Lev Tolstoy, who once said that, 'The most common and widely spread reason of one's telling lie is not an intention to deceive somebody, but a wish to deceive oneself. There can be no real love without honesty and respect. If one lies to somebody he firstly abases himself. In my opinion it is better not to become happy at all if the cost of this happiness is someone's grief. I tried to find reasons how it all had befallen, and finally came to the conclusion that our split happened through my fault. Everyone has their own opinion and everyone has a right to decide for themselves if lie should or should not take place in their life. If a lie was once said to somebody, it will be said for many times in the future.
