The Art of lying

    lies

    So you didn’t bring your physics homework and you have the lousiest reason in this world. What do you do? “In times of crisis, always use treason” says yours truly/a liar/fraud/420 in more ways that one. Remember kids: when honesty seems like a death trap, always lie. I knew this one guy who just couldn’t tell the truth even if humanity’s fate depended on it. Guess what he does now? He’s a LAWYER who apparently makes a hell lot of money LYING.
    Back to our physics problem. Your actual reason was that the new Call of Duty game just came out. But does your fat behinded physics teacher acknowledge the need for playing a graphical masterpiece as such? I don’t think so. You need a good excuse. The ‘I forgot to bring the copy but I did the homework’ excuse doesn’t work anymore. So why don’t you just use your creativity and tell him (with a puppy dog face) that your cat just died (its either cat or a relative…you decide). People usually don’t want to smash you with a book after you express your heartfelt grief to them. Problem solved. Period.

    However, the world runs on lies and here’s some of the people who get the most out of lying:

    Government officials

    Lying does help in most situations. Think about it. If we didn’t lie, we wouldn’t do corrupt stuff and so our honorable place at the peak of few of the most corrupt nations in the world would be disturbed. Now we Bangladeshis can’t sit around and let that happen, can we? We will not stand around and let our country stripped of rank, our government officials not making crores of takas everyday is just outrageous. How can we strip them of their well earned bribes? It would we unjust to stop the negotiations under the table. Its horrid to even think about ending this tradition. Shame on you for even thinking of ending a cycle of corruption.

    Lawyers
    And if nobody lied, can you imagine the life of a lawyer. I mean come on, these people live on lies. Maybe their lies are a bit organized, but hey, what the heck. They work really hard to make up “educated” bluffs. So I once asked the lawyer friend of mine if he ever told truth in a case. His response was in the affirmative and in his very first case to. I was happy to find that even lawyers tell the truth sometimes until he added how poor guy was innocent but got the electric chair anyways. Happy endings are beautiful aren’t they?

    Political Leaders
    Do I even need to elaborate anything here? I mean if you didn’t promise people about nuclear powered electricity and told them that nuclear accidents only affect the Japanese, how would you get to that Gramer Chairman position? Brains people, brains. Tsk. Tsk. And how do they keep these promises? You guessed it. They don’t . After the guy wins the election, nuclear power turns to wind power, wind power turns to water power and water power turns to NO ELECTRICITY at all. I tell you these people are amazing. You only need to pass class five and get a “Harvard Grazuate” certificate from Nilkhet. Go figure.
