The Lie that Saved Me

Hello friends how are you doing today and welcome to my blog, here in my entry I will be sharing with you all base on the contest organize by @bossj23 "The Lie that Saved Me"

Right from birth our parents have been preaching to us about the consequences of telling a lie, that it is a sin against the doctrine of Christianity but the question still remains, is there a good lie? And is there a bad one? I thought biblically all sins are the same!!

Yes, I have been caught telling lies most of the time, and sometimes I haven't been caught, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it. One of my biggest lies was back in college, in the examination hall. You know, some exams are extremely hard; the lecturer wants them to be hard so that he or she can sort students.

Well, in the exam hall, I cheated. Then, the supervisor suspected something and came to collect my script. I, on the other hand, had gotten rid of the microchip, so I told the man that I hadn't done anything and even swore.

Well, I knew I was lying, but if I hadn't lied, he would have taken my exam script away, making me probably fail the exam, which, of course, I didn't.

Trust me it doesn't pay to lie at all because when they people around you discovers that you are fun of lying to them they will probably stop trusting you and basically avoid you in anything.

Just like the name implies "Joke", but please a deceitful joke is always fun while it lasted but trust me we should have limit while practicing or expressing it to the people around us.

Like I mentioned earlier, one of my biggest lies got me out of trouble in the examination hall. The supervisor saved me and my script from being taken away, thus preventing me from failing the exam.

Also, another lie saved me when I was working in a betting shop. Most of my customers were tough guys, and they often played games and refused to pay. Some would even try to beat me up if I asked for money.

One day, one of these tough guys played a game and won a 100,000 naira jackpot. He didn't know about it, but I did, so I covered it up and claimed the money. This is one of my biggest lies ever.

It helped me recover from the losses they had caused in the shop and boosted my savings, which I am now using for my schooling.

Now there's what we call "rhetoric" which has to do with the process of persuading someone vocally, so at this point the woman isn't a liar rather that is a business strategy that she's using in other to see gain in her business.

She isn't a public servant or her business isn't some public cooperation set up by government to serve the public, rather every business aims at making profit so as long as you do not do anything illegal how you manage to see your profit isn't no body's business so the woman isn't a liar at all
