" Lying is the oil that greases our interactions with others and lets us maintain friendly social relationship." P: 143.
I read a lot of interesting information in this book but I have found the above quote is the most interesting because it says explicitly that "Lying" is what makes our relations goes on! It describes the Lying as the "oil" that greases our relationships with words, facial expressions, and gestures. That's true!! It has limits and common acceptable boundaries in each society; if it exceeds the limits , it will become as the acid that erodes the metal! In fact, it is ugly to know that we are liars in a way or another! but without that we will end up alone!
I agree with you. Sometimes we prefer a direct talk, but if everyone does no fakig, our lives would be miserale by facing unnecessary truth most time.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we call them white lies, they don't hurt anybody and we say them to make people feel happier.

ReplyDeleteHi Moe,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great expression!! I can imagine this situation.
Exactly, oil is useful to decrease friction, but oil also has negative factor.
It is easy to burn, and too much oil makes friction adversely at engine.
