Why people struggle with honesty

by Maryam

Honestly speaking, I feel that the majority of people struggle with speaking the truth out of fear of being judged by others as well as being frightened to hurt a significant others feelings. Take the moment and ask yourself the same question .Why do you tell lies? Whether you tell little white lies or you're a habitual liar when the truth is unveiled, you will be know to the people as a person of fraudulent character. While we're on the topic of lying ,I have to say that women are far better liars then men. With all that being said ,some experts say men lie more than women do I'll let you decide.

I have a real query to pose for the ladies. If your other half was to tell you the truth of his lustful hunger for enjoying the good pleasure of another woman's company would you allow him to fancy her at your convenience? Imagine you just gave birth to another child. You do everything a wife does to please her husband. You perceive that he's always noticing beautiful women of his preferable body type and you are totally opposite of hers' he openly flirts with her and every time you question him in regards to your observation he denies it and reminds you why he doesn't like taking you out. This whole set-up is the reason why some men lie. I say if you can't be them then join them. If you don't want your man to lie to your face and you prefer he opens up to you ,well then my dear you have to be creative and tell the truth to him when he asks you if you want to have a threesome , don't lie Ms. Lady . Tell him the truth!

I have to be equally fair and ask you men something that may hit a nerve but you will see one of the reasons why women lie. retrospectively speaking, while you men are always giving the eye to other women and leaving your poor wife unattended because you hate taking her out ,do you really expect her to just act like nothing is happening because you pay all the bills while she sits home all day ? Some how you find out in one of those heated arguments that your best friends was secretly advising your wife while she complained to him about you. Him being a man and all his heart couldn't bear the sound of her soft trembling voice asking him to come by and keep her company during those nights you picked an argument so you had an excuse to leave. Of course your best friends knows you have a good woman at home and about the other women you entertain at your leisure because while you were wining and dinning other ladies he has been taming your damsel in distress for the past year and a half. You take notice that as your wife's new child has gotten older and resembles someone familiar but you cant quite put your finger on it. That doesn't stop you from asking her if that child is yours every time you have an squabble. She knows that if you knew the truth about the child's paternity you would leave her and she doesn't have her own means of supporting herself and children financially. So your dear wife lies to you about being the father of your best friends baby because she know that when everything is good at home your going to keep on providing like a man does.

People lie because they can't handle the truth about themselves they are selfish and can dish it out but can't take it. They live in the moment in pursuit of their own happiness and its not until they are faced with loosing it all that people start lying. If you can't trust your self then trust me when I tell you, some way some how people always get what they deserve and that's some honesty for your ass!
