Types of lies people tell

There are many lies that people tell, it doesn't mean they are justified. There are white lies, bold-face lies and there are other things that are kind of like lies, those are fabrication, broken promises, and deception. This all hurt people in one way or another and that’s what makes them unjustified. Now I will explain them and how they hurt others.

The white lies are all about not hurting someone else’s feelings, they are made to be softer to people. These lies still hurt because the truth can come out at any moment and then no one will believe anything you say. These lies are told when you are making an excuse for not going somewhere or when you get something you didn't want but don’t want to hurt that person’s feelings.

The bold-face lies are when you just tell a lie for the fact that you want to or don’t want to give an explanation. This lies do hurt others when they find out the truth but it hurts even more the person that said the lie. People say them to cover up what they have done or where they were. It can turn into a habit but is up to that person to stop them.

The broken promises are those things people commit to and then do not deliver. It hurts everyone, the person that said it and the one that heard it, it specially hurts when the person that said it had no intention of making the promise come true. The fabrication is when you say something you don’t know if is true or not. Fabrication can hurt people’s reputations since they always lead to rumors. Last but not least important is deception, this is when you try to create a false impression and causes people to be misled. This lies are made by not saying all the facts or just creating a false impression.

Nobody should tell a lie in their life. People should be responsible of their own acts and accept the consequences. Losing credibility because of one moment you didn't want to accept a mistake or something is not worth it. Honesty is the best policy.
