Fib for good....

                                                                                                                                                                    I cannot claim that I am not a liar or I never lie. I cannot either say he/she is a liar. As far as I know everyone of us are all liars. Even the eminent persons also lie occasionally. But there are varieties of fibs and fibbers. Some lies are good, some are awful. Some are helpful while other lies are destructive and deceptive.  Some people fib to escape from the bitter situations and also to deceive others while some lie as to bring some positive changes in the minds and behavior of others. Likewise people lie in their own ways.

It is also said that it is a big sin to tell lies especially to our parents and teachers. So, thinking of it, makes me fearful and keeps me in the state of hesitation because I never tell my parents the truth. Not telling the truth is also a
lie. So, I am a good liar in deed. My parents used to ask me, " Are you in sound health?'," Are you studying hard?', " Is everything going fine with you down there?' so on and so forth. But I always used to say them that I am good and studying well and that everything is going as expected though in reality I barely study and face some problems. Just recently my mummy and one of my brothers were asking about my result and I told them it was good though I am failed in one subject. I didn't share with them of my failure deliberately. But it doesn't mean that I was scared of getting scolded by them or getting beaten up by them. I am pretty sure my parents would never do such thing to me.

Well, you may think that I am a bad son to my parents. But I can argue that I am not. Whatever lies I tell my parents I tell with the good intentions. I just don't want to perturb them unnecessarily. I don't want to let them down. I don't want them to have worries over me. I want them to be happy always. That's why I never tell the truth to my parents. Had I told them that I had failed in one subject then surely they would have undergone great depression and started worrying about me because I had been doing good in studies since my schooling. Moreover, I am their white-hope and if I can't reach up-to their expectation then it would give them an unbearable pain. So, I don't want my parents to suffer because of me. That is why I always keep on concealing the truth from my parents and relatives. So, I think that lying with good intention will be not much sinful but fibbing for bad purposes will be a great sinful.
