Why Can't We Catch Liars?...Calculating the Costs of White Lies and Hard Truths...

I have hypersensitivity....and I am most allergic to liars...

To some people, lying is embedded in their culture...as something of the norm...as something that's part of a day to day conversation or situation.

To these kinds of people, as long as it does not kill you, lying is not a point of debate. It makes things 'easier' for them to achieve things. For them, the cost of telling the truth is higher than telling a lie. Only to realize in the end that the Price they have to pay is much higher.

On the contrary, there are some who are born to crave for hard truth. Knowing the truth sets them free. It is so difficult for these kinds of people to accept the fact that some people win for cheating on the game board. To them, hard truth is the only thing acceptable to keep the world turning.

Is it religion?

..is it culture?

...or is it more of society's upbringing?

Between White Lies or Hard Truths, I still think the latter is the only thing that defines fairness and justice...and probably makes the world a little happier and safer.

The worst anyone can do is to get something out of deceit. Some people can take these so called 'achievements' out of trickery or fraud and manage to flaunt as if it was part of the process. Perhaps trying to make sense to the Machiavellian thinking that "The end justifies the means".

Yes, the mirror has two faces and there are two sides of the coin...and for me to be a little inch happier, I just need to accept the fact that the world is not a perfect place to live in. That I have to learn to live with mendacious behavior and co-exist with such lower beings (to coin them as such since I deem those who value Hard Truths as creatures of higher values).

Still...it's not too idealistic to wish....that hopefully such cheat, con artist, deceiver, deluder, dissimulator, equivocator, fabler, fabricator...or whatever Wikipedia or the world calls them....would be pacified and not be too oblivious to the consequences of such compulsive actions anymore.

Dare to ask why?

...for "what goes around comes around".
