Could it be that they are more exposed now than in olden times? Just thinking.

@bestwriter Perhaps they lost their values and chose to be in dishonest position. I felt like some people had changed a lot compared to the old days. We can’t trust somebody or someone anytime nowadays.

I so agree with you, there is too much deception in this world. No one wants to be truthful maybe because they don’t want to be accountable to anyone. For dear of being judged. But there is nothing as bad as a close friend or a relative betraying someone close to them. I often think when someone is not trusted they probably have I’ll motives or their agendas are never good. Honesty has become a thing of the past it’s only out grandparents and parents who  practiced this. Nowadays there is too much greed someone feels that if am good I won’t be able to get what I want. So they would rather lie so that they get what they want.

@sauda Things are becoming so complicated nowadays. If we can’t determine the personal agenda of others, it is most likely that we experience deception. I had experienced betrayal a couple of times. The only thing that I should bear in mind that there are people born to be in such persona. Then, I just need to move on and forget what had happened.

We have still a big room to amend our dishonesty. I sometime told a white lie to save my face from possible shame and from possible misunderstanding among my friends. I did it too to my beloved wife and I think she’s doing it too. Anyone is not exempted from doing it. As I have earlier mentioned even in the ancient Bible times, the people of God are telling white lies to save from possible and even terrible consequences if they told the truth. But the point is: is a good to do that? Whatever it is as long as it is a lie, it is always a lie. Does God pardon those persons who are doing that?

By practice of by experience, I remember when I was having a conference with the parents of our school children. They’re complaining about the misbehavior of their children and their children were maltreated by my teachers. Well, to save the school and to save my teachers, I have to defend them. And what should I do? I had to invent probable defense for it. In so doing, I saved the integrity of the school. I also saved the reputation of my teachers. And I saved the possible rift between the parents and the school. I know what I did was a lie – a white lie for that matter.

@nakitakona13 I hope the teacher has its learning on that incident. In medical professions, they do covering up the malpractice of their colleagues. Since some patients are not aware of such practices, the colleagues need to cover up such actions just to save their face and reputation of the hospital. However, all the treatment and management are documented. It would be available if things need to be clear up in autopsy.

@asma it is not only  in these modern times, it was always. More in past because nobody knows well how to deal with problems and scammers, we had no source of information or quick communication like now. Now we only have to pick up our smartphone and solve many things fast.

I think that people have no money and do anything to survive. Some things are very self-explanatory.

@kubera yes, I believe that there is some logic in what you are saying about getting rich and that it is the only possible with other people getting into misfortune over your personal gain. That is morally wrong and in my belief, it will not last long. To build real fortune takes time and honesty. People are not stupid. At least not all. Also, people are not without skills and knowledge just like that. There is always some bigger nastiness who can take advantage of some evil and then you have it.

@shavkat people don’t only change for reason that is very solid, like if they make up things to preserve them selves for the job or to secure from the anger of supervisors or to avoid employees who dislike them and gossips. They also change over emotions. Because if you despise somebody you will do anything to mess him up, yes?

I see it that way. This is why some people don’t have reason over things they do, they just do them.

October 22, 2016 at 7:59 pm

@yourseldom I guess people are really born this way. I simply ignore them. I will just be acquainted to them and ignore if they are doing the such an act.
