How will you answer if someone asks you a question-"Do you think you're an honest person?" I'll guess, a lot of people's first word will be, "Ermm..." . Because I do it too. It kind of means I am not sure, or when I don't want to cheat myself. But to be real honest, I am not an honest person after all.
I lie a lot, because I am afraid, or troubled. Like when my friend needs to borrow my textbook, but I tell him or her, "I don't have it". Only because I want to keep my studying a secret, and it's also very tiresome to lend somebody something.
Or when my exam grades are very low. Although my real grades will be discovered very soon, but I am just to scared to tell the truth sometimes.
And that was the reason why I lie. I wonder how this will apply to many other people. Lying because you're too scared to tell the truth! And troublesome happenings when you tell the truth.
To talk like this, I am beginning to think that all mankind is weak, and they always want to defence themselves.
I don't think that all mankind would be able to become purely honest. Almost impossible.
But that is what makes us human, isn't it?
