It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Of course, it is a poor idea to lie to yourself because it is a bad thing. Sometimes one gets use to it and it is difficult to change back from where you were. In life, many people think when they lie to themselves they can get away with it. Which is not true at all?

Yesterday I was conducting a research at Cape Peninsula university of Technology. I manage to interview ten students. I ask them the following questions: why do you lie to yourself? How many times did you lie to yourself? Do you think it is a good idea to lie? Do you lie to impress other people? I got really good responds from students and I can’t believe myself. Most of the students said they lie to themselves we they come from, what they do, to please other people, to hurt other people emotionally, to hide from the truth and to attempt to make our life better.

People should know that it is a poor idea to lie to yourself. In the bible Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. It means in life we should always seek to tell the truth to any challenge we are facing.

We must stop lying to ourselves because it is a poor idea to lie to ourselves. Let us face reality and become a better person.
