Of lies, deception .

an being clever
All my life I have wondered why people lie.lies have
become a norm from daily ones that start with I couldnt
call you back/ reply /come to work or a meeting
because.to some very serious ones
If I were to create a scatter diagram of lies most of them
would fall in convenience category.i lie because it is
convenient n avoid explanation.e.g I bought this v
expensive jewellery n claim it was gifted or bought years
ago to avoid explaining the splurge to parents spouse
friends etc.these are personal lies the kind you five to
family members or close friends
An next huge category are social lies.as an excuse to get
away from social norms..darling I am so sorry I couldnt
come to to your wedding/birthday / treat etc .this typical
gets handed to tier 2 friends n relatives
The damaging ones are swarm of lies or incident based
lies. The damaging ones hide deep seated problems like
financial issues, infidelity,substance abuse, serious or

chronic illness.swarm here is different n has a diff spread

here the issue is not the lie but what its trying to hide
Same for incident e.g murder, embezzlement, fraud, threat
or some other serious brake. Incident based lies are one of
as in lies to cover one major incident whereas swarm of lies
as the name suggest are repetitive as the underlying issue
is.
The last two categories have legal undertones because
they can cause serious damage to the receptor, or person
in line of fire
So how do people get away with it.look at the recent case
of nani mukherjee or essica all.do you seriously think
nobody knew or guessed or even had an inkling about her
aberrant past and why did so few witnesses come forward
in 2nd case..so why did people choose to look away
There are only to answers popular or powerful.very few
people will stand up others rights esp if PnP are
involved.call it self preservation
Now before I hit the den of rattle snakes I needed to cut
through the deceptionno compulsive liar will own upwe

dont even own up to white lies forget about big ones with
serious stakes.n they dont come with LIAR stamp on
their forehead.lying is not brandedits too common to
be exclusive:)
It was my job to explore .when my ex was out
philandering most of his fn f (family n friends) knew about
it.none let it onlaw abiding citizens with daughterthe
kind that will go to a religious place atleast twice a
year.none of the ethics of any religion seems to hold a
candle to self interestits that powerful a force
But this time its gonna be different.as in I intend to make
life miserable for those involvedso its cost benefit
analysis is clear.speak the truthbesides we are talking
murder here
The popular power is the dangerous one.it enables the
fraudster to slander you in darkest of colours and people
just go with the flow from the fear of offendingadd power
to it and it makes for the most compelling case for lying
known to mankind
BR Ambedkar is case in point .social power is power of
majority that provides unequal punishment for same

(PS alcohol causes 4 times more damage to females than it

does to men)
Her fav punch line being why waste stomach space with
water when you can fill it with alcohol. Wonder if there are
any takers for this line in booze firms.stomach space na

Her second real estate being men of all shapes n sizes desi

ME: ready to strangle her start sputteringCLEVER

what is clever about being nasty mean and slander. If it is
such a positive thing for you then when you have children
with your current or next or whoever would you want them
to be clever like this
Its like saying pickpockets and robbers and frauds are
clever because they manage to fool .even that takes a
high level of skill an practise.but that doesnt make it
right
PKJ: did she steal something
ME: speechless for awhile..yeah a couple of small things
like my n my family reputation, my peace of mind , not to
mention the joy that I used to feel about most things in
life.loose change really
PKJ: I have never heard of herI keep travelling.yaar ek
do peg laga le saab theek ho jayega
ME: slammed the door in face and hope it shatters
Why do I even bothermaybe because I have hit the self
actualisation decade when principles and standing up for
