Most times lying seems like the only way to save yourself from punishment or a lifesaver. I understand that there are certain situations where we will see ourselves lying as the only gateway out. One thing about lying is that once you start lying, you will find it hard to stop the habit. My mom will always tell me that there is nothing like saying the truth, even if it means killing you. Say the truth, a good moral that everyone should have; the elder will always say whoever that lies can kill, steal, etc., because they don’t have a single truth in them.

If there is one thing my parents hate so much is lying. I can remember the day I lied to my mom; she flogged me mercilessly, asking me where I learnt the act from. I promise my mom that I will always say the truth sincere truth. I have always saved myself; most times my mom will forgive me just because I said the truth. Till now I find it very hard to lie. The moment I lie, I will be caught in the act.

As I grew up, I realised that there are times we need to lie to save ourselves from a situation. I hardly lie, but whenever I lie, there is a reason behind it. I can’t just lie because it is not part of me, but if I should lie, there is a reason I did so.

When I lost my dad, my elder sister was heavily pregnant. She loved my dad so much. Immediately my dad gave up the ghost I made up my mind that I would not tell her that Dad was no more. Seriously, I don’t know how this works. As if she knew that something had happened, she called asking me, How is Dad? I lied to her that Dad was booked for emergency surgery and that all we need now is money and that the doctor promised us that it will be successful. After we dropped the call, she sent me some money to deposit at the hospital. After some hours, she called me asking me how the surgery was. I told her that it was successful, just that Dad is still sleeping. She was so happy hearing that it was successful, unknown to her that her father has joined his ancestors.

I keep lying to her any day she called me i most have any excuses to give her i need to buy time because i don’t want anything to happen to her knowing fully well that she is pregnant after some weeks she put to birth i was so happy that she is save and the baby at this point i can no longer hide it from her i visited her during our chat i have to tell her that dad is no more she didn’t believe was like what kind of expensive joke is that i have to tell her that i have being lying to her all this while because of her condition she couldn’t believe her ears she called like a baby i have to encourage that there is nothing we can do we try our best but God knows the best she need to be strong for her new baby.

If I didn’t hear the truth from her, who knows what could have happened am happy that I lied just to save the life of my elder sister. Know fully well that lying is a bad habit, but I have to lie at that moment to save a life. I don’t see anything wrong if you lie to save a life. Just in case, I have to keep lying to my sister because I don’t want to lose another family member.

Generally, lying is very bad; we should always try our best to say the truth all the time.
