Explanation:
At same time, lying can also create problems. Lying can be cognitively depleting, it can increase the risk that people will be punished, it can threaten people's self-worth by preventing them from seeing themselves as “good” people, and it can generally erode trust in society.It only takes one lie to make you a liar or distrust someone who lied to you. ... Lying is not only dishonest; it's disrespectful
Answer:
Lying is awful, mainly because a generally truthful world is a good thing. Lying diminishes trust between us. If people generally didn't tell the truth, life would become very difficult, as nobody could be trusted and nothing you heard or read could be trusted. You would have to find everything out for yourself. Dishonesty and rumours are also similar to lying.
We read in the story, how Swaminathan’s lies got backfired. Without even giving it a second thought, Swaminathan blabbered lies after lies, exaggerated all the rumors so they would sound really nasty. Though, Swaminathan didn’t think of the consequences of such lying. Neither did he expect to get such a reaction from his father. But later in the story we see how Swaminathan regrets his own lying and at the end he is only guilt- ridden.
Creating a false description or someone or thing and making other people believe is also basically lying. Some people spread rumors as a way to intimidate others and gain status or popularity. But spreading rumors as a way to turn people against someone is a form of bullying and it can have serious consequences for the person doing it.
Spreading unkind gossip in person or online is not a decent or mature way to act. It hurts the person being talked about, and it intimidates other people.
Being dishonest too is similar to lying. Being dishonest with people that always believe you is something you should be ashamed of. Lying is only regretted afterwards. Guilt of our dishonesty fills us and leaves us guilt- ridden. As the saying goes, ‘To hide a lie, a thousand lies are needed’. It is very much the truth. The more lies you speak, the more you regret, and the more chances you have of getting caught. Lying to someone who blindly believes you is the most regrettable, once they caught your lie, it’s difficult for them to put their belief in you again. No matter how hard you have worked to earn their trust, one lie can ruin it all.
