What is your take on lie?

Recently I got this question while scrolling down through my FB feed. It was asked by my bestest blog friend Izdiher. When I read this question I suddenly recalled my past experiences and the way how I had a deal with such situations.

So what is your take on lie? Especially when liars give explanation about something which you already know. This was her exact question.

I have decided to answer it here with the scenario when someone close to us lie unaware of the fact that we already knows the truth. To me, a lie is a overrated word. When we realize our close one is lying with us, our brain shuts down and just starts to judge the other person. We lose the control over our-self to understand his intentions of telling that lie.

When a person is lying to us he is either scared of hurting the other persons emotions or he is afraid of the drama that the other person is going to create which is far more to handle than a lie. Before we become angry on our loved ones for lying, it is must that we need to introspect by asking one simple question to our inner self. Did we give so much freedom to that person that he can trust and tell us the truth?

If not then we do not deserve to know each and every truth from the other person. This is the time when we need to start working on ourselves to be more better and accepting rather than being angry and making the other person feel guilty.

So readers... What is your take on lies? Do leave your response in the comments below.

Some Lyrics Says It All...

If silence is beautiful, words are powerful. It is the power of words, by which listening to an old song sometimes evokes so many untouched emotions in you. The emotions which were buried deep under the piles of all the debris in your heart. The poor emotions which could not surface above, no matter how much they tried to. But, just one old song is capable of bringing back all the old memories associated with it like a hurricane and churn you inside out, leaving you shattered for a long after its gone. All we can do is collect the broken pieces once again and try to bind them together and make sense of it, even though it made no sense then, nor today.

One of my most unforgettable memories related to a song is from the last days in my Engineering hostel. The memory which is deeply carved in my heart. One evening I and my best friend Surabhi were lying on her bed together and listening to the random songs on her cell phone. One earphone was in my ear and she was using the other. Then the song began playing which we loved the most. It was the song Kahi Toh Hogi Woh from the movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Initially, we were enjoying the song and its soulful lyrics but as the song proceeded we both slowly became quite. Completely quite. So quite that in a few moments, the tears began welling up in our eyes and soon after we begun weeping like babies, hugging each other. No words were required in that moment to convey each other the reason for us to weep. The pain of separation which we were avoiding to accept was approaching soon. It was the magic of the song, that made a way to our pain to surface out, which we were avoiding.

The song whose every word was meant for us and our state of mind at that moment. From then, even after so many years have passed, this song has remained close to my heart. And I am sure it is equally important to my friend Surabhi as well.

And here it goes...
