The Importance Of Deception

We are all encouraged at an early age to tell the truth. We can better our lives with this single rule, as well as maintain a trustworthy image. However deception and lies creep into our lives constantly. Deception has been called a terrible, abominable thing that we as humans do. But deception is only regarded in that single sense. However, there is always two sides to a story. Deception, defined in the English language, is the act of failing to admit that something is true. This knowledge is installed into many children at a very young age. People are told time and time again to not be untruthful. Yet this simple rule is broken so much that a man could not count the number of lies told by the human race in one lifetime. So, the question is

I’m saying that it is acceptable to use rather than forbidden. People cannot forget that when used in a bigger sense the outcomes can be horrendous. If people lied all of the time then the world as we know it would probably fall into chaos. The inability to trust your fellow man is huge. Not having trust doesn’t help a person in any way possible. Think of how exceedingly more difficult the world would be if nobody could trust one another. Picture golem from lord of the rings, now you have just imagined almost the entire population if this were to happen. The world goes on with trust. Whether it’s something as small as telling someone they actually have a stain on their shirt, to as big as admitting a huge fault.

We were outside sledding and having a blast, but then his little sister came over to us and wanted in on our fun. So, we said sure and thought of some way to mess with her, simply because we thought it would be funny. We had just made this ramp in the snow that was really big, and neither of us wanted to test it out. Thinking it would be funny to see his sister fly through the air and scream we decided to tell her to go straight down the hill on the ramp. We grabbed some Pam from the kitchen cabinet and sprayed the bottom of her sled with it. She didn’t know there was a ramp and asked us if it was safe to go down with the Pam on her board. We resounded with a strong, “Yeah it’s fine, and we have done this hundreds of times.” With a smile that was soon to fade, she went don’t the slope like a bullet. We were dying of laughter until we
