    About this ebook

    Most times, you hear people say that lying to oneself can avoid pains because being truthful to oneself, often causes a lot of pain.
    Lies people tell is not a book that has come to correct problems of lies but, has come to create awareness of some lies people tend to joke about within their relationships, to themselves, in politics and their working environment forgetting the fact that the truth always comes out in the end no matter how hard you try to hide or stop it.

      PREFACE

      People might wonder why I chose to write a book on lies told by people in different areas of life. We know these lies and they are all over, so what’s the big deal? We all know that people tell lies, but there are some that though not overt, destroy the fabrics of relationships, the society, and even ourselves.

      I have had nasty experiences of lies told to me that left me gobsmacked, and that was what motivated me to put together some lies people tell, and to educate people on the importance of speaking the truth.

      I have been in a relationship where my partner was not straightforward with me. On some occasions, she’ll tell a lie to cover up her true intention. I’ve also worked with people who tell lies upon lies to get what they want. They could go as far as lying with the name of their late parents just to evade responsibility, seek for a favour or escape a problem. I’ve also observed relationships where partners go into debt because they’re trying to please their partner.

      These experiences, amongst other despicable lies, are what motivated me to put down this book, Lies People Tell.

      INTRODUCTION

      A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can event. ~William Blake

      No matter how long a lie has been told and how far it has gone, the truth will always catch up with it. There are many people who are known for telling lies, and they always manufacture more lies to cover up the lies
