Are you a liar ?????

YES! Who doesn't? this is the most recurrent answer to this question. I think that today class was really interesting, because it dealt with one of the most common habits among people: to tell a lie. I have never known anybody who always tells the truth! Parents sometimes have to tell lies to their children, children to parents, boyfriends to girlfriends and also we can find lies among friends. I believe that the fact of telling lies is an intrinsic characteristic of human beings. Sometimes, people tell white lies and sometimes, we tell really cruel lies. But, What is the reason to which we used to tell lies?

I do not know! May be because if we always tell the truth, we can share all our life with other people and we can feel that we are losing our own privacy; or perhaps because we do not want to hurt somebody with the ugly truth; or It also could be only for selfishness. I mean that sometimes we do bad things and we prefer don't tell the truth only to protect our own image.

On the other hand, I think that despite the fact that everybody tells lies, there is a dichotomy in this behaviour. Since everybody feels offended and indignant when we catch somebody in a lie, is not it? I never could understand why this fact annoys us so much when we are always acting in the same way. Perhaps because human beings are unpredictable and inexplicable. This could be the reason.

the next link is a really funny and useful information about how we can detect a liar focusing our attention on the gestures, body language or contradictions. Enjoy!
