Life Improvement Tips For The Wise Few

That phrase has been one I always wanted to understand, and for good gold I still don’t understand why they call any type of lies “little white lies”. Once you lie it’s a lie, and I just don’t care what you call it.

In the Netherlands there was “Santa Claus” and “Zwarte Piet”. Translated it means Black Pete, another black and white association where they associate Santa Claus as the white person and “Zwarte Piet” as the black and evil person. Another very famous statement, and a well known one is that when a black cat crosses the street in front of you, you will have bad luck.

OK, I know you must have used these two yourself, I myself have. Your in my “Black Book” or your on my “Black List”.

What about the “The Pot Calling The Kettle Black”.

These are all well known phrases or cliches, all well known around the world. But the one that I really want to touch on today is “little white lies”, because I think it’s an excuse that many people live by.

Why didn’t they have a statement like “little black lies”, or is that so hard to imagine.

My guess is that would have been seen like a deadly sin, so that is why that phrase never came to life. Why do they always have to associate anything good with white, and anything bad with black.

One of the best behavioral concepts that you would need to adjust to first improve your life is to ditch the white lies, you won’t need to bend the truth. Honesty is still the best policy. I have always tried to be as honest as possible, but did tell my fair share of white lies and sometimes I always wonder why I did.

Compulsive Liars

Why do we lie or bend the truth a little?

Is it that we are afraid to be caught in a lie, or is it much better to lie and get away with it? One who lies and continue to lie, will have no choice to live a life filled with lies. Your life will never be full-filled and you will never get anything you want out of life, but another lie.

Little white lies, is a phrase conceived to help us get away with telling lies. That is a phrase you should scrap from your vocabulary and learn to always face the truth no matter how bad it is. The truth will set you free.

Your Memory Can Recall Lies Better Than Truths

Have you ever witness the power of your mind as far as many of your lies stretch. It is very strange, but please put a little effort in this for one moment. I want you to think back on the first lie you told. Really focus on it. And Then associate it with one when you was caught .

How does that make you feel?

I can bet my last dollar that it still makes you feel bad, and it shows you the power of bad influence. What you feed your mind is what will grow, lies can’t grow. They manifest into shame and more hidden guilt. Stop the lies and the next time your using a phrase, try and see if you associate it with something bad or your just saying it because of what it means.

Let me give you one little black lie that has me bothered me and that my mind always goes back to. When I was studying in The Netherlands, I came to St. Maarten on a vacation and went up for my drivers license. I passed with flying colors, and on my first try.

But, before I did that I was trying to pass my drivers license exams in Holland, I just couldn’t get it to go. I failed and that was when I went to St. Maarten and got my license.

I came back to Holland after my vacation and decided that I would go for my second trial. It was free anyway, but with no commitment or serious effort I went for my second trial. I failed again, and that really bothered me, because I just got my drivers license in St. Maarten and couldn’t get it in Holland.

Well, one day my big brother asked me where I got my license and I said in Holland and my brother Donny busted me, I really felt stupid, but for good griefs and up to this day, I just can’t figure out why I lied.

Was it because of my desire to pass for my drivers license in Holland?

I just can’t answer that one, but since then I have been very honest with myself and very opened to whatever they ask me. I have adapted a new policy, and that is to not give any details if I don’t want. That way I won’t have to use any little white lies.
