What if? (15)

What if we couldn't lie? What would the world be like? It would be one crazy place. =P. Now, even if it's not a big lie, people tell them. People can tell small lies or huge ones. Someone may say when they are late that they are 5 minutes from wherever when they are actually just leaving their house. Kids when they don't want to get in trouble for something they say they didn't do it. These are all lies. They get bigger when someone says they didn't kill someone and they did. Some people get so engulfed in their lies, they can't remember who they told this to and who they told that to. So what would the world be like if we couldn't lie? Would it be a lot harsher than it is now? When someone asks you if they look okay in an outfit and you say yes because you don't want to hurt their feelings, you are telling them a lie. So if we told them the truth, would we still have friends? You don't want to be mean to someone, but then again, you shouldn't want to lie to that person either. Would there be as many criminals on the streets? If they couldn't tell a lie, they would admit to the crime and be put in jail. This would be nice. It's like we would all be like Pinocchio. Well not even like Pinocchio, more like Jim Carey from the movie Liar Liar. Being physically unable to tell a lie. Maybe the world would be a better place? I think it would be good if people didn't lie, but even I have told a small lie. Everyone does it. I think people do it because they want to spare someone's feelings, or they don't want to fully commit to something in case something better comes along. We want everyone to be truthful and honest, but I don't believe the world would ever be this way.
