Since childhood, our parents, teachers and mentors taught us that “Always tell the truth, no matter how much bitter it might be”. It is because during childhood we could not understand the difference between right and wrong.


 
As we grew up and by experiencing, we all commonly found that telling truth is not always beneficial. We cannot get away when a difficult situation comes. Saying truth is not that much a big problem. Actually, the problem is saying little white truth or absence of key factors that are more poisonous than above. This fact we already know. Due to situational triggers, when and how factors force us to hide the truth. Due to this kind of shade of grey miscommunication, breakups and dysfunctional behaviour happen.

Here are 3 basic fundamental concerns why people hide the truth or say half-truth.

1)      To Protect self.

It’s a genuine thing that no one cannot be fully honest all the time. Because we will first take care of ourselves and then we will save others. It’s not selfish behaviour but it’s about caring for ourself, lives and career. As we all do mistakes and mischief. With the help of lying if we get out from that and saving our self-it’s good thing in this Iron Age. Because in such kind of situations speaking right, it's not a big challenge. But how the audience handles that truth or after saying truth he/she can handle the audience is the big challenge. So that is why people hide the truth or say half-truth. This is called as tactical speaking skills.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people might get screwed first.

2)      Self-Image

It is a factor of perception. It's like how other people see you and feel about you. Those who have a good self-image in the market, those people are considered successful. To live happily in this world, self-image is very important.  To make a good image/ brand value in society, it requires concrete stand towards own principles & ethics, dedication and commitment towards committed words and clarity about the relationship. But in this iron age, it’s very difficult to manage all. So that is why people around us give importance to lying and believe in their own lie as strongly as they can.

3)      Success

To achieve success people can do anything. It’s a genuine thing. Because no one wants to see the face of failure. In this competitive world at every step, a competitor can knock you down at any time and any cost. To protect and save success, lying is part of that. Otherwise, someone will come and grab your opportunity from your hand. That’s why people take the support of false or prefer half-truth if there are prospects that she/he is getting big success after saying some few lying words.

You’ll get that when the behaviour you do to others comes back to you anyhow.
