The phenomena of happiness and lies concerns everyone’s lives. The lie is a very strong temptation because it allows us to pursue a specific goal. Negative and positive emotions can help aid lies or unmask them. Happiness and joyfulness of cheating others are the two positive feelings that encourage lying. As an example of the different kinds of lies, some attempts of giving happiness and joyfulness will be showed. Lies can cause happiness that result in positive emotions created by experiences which are are as a result are an entity of positive information. When we talk about internal experiences of an individual, we have an influence on the way of their life. Even though lies are harmless and we use them everyday, we can not function without them, for instance polite lies, so we should consult that ‘cheats never prosper’ and always come out on top. It is not possible to obtain happiness as a long term position but for a short‑lived period of time and sometimes temporal feeling of gladness. Some people enjoy gossiping and feel better about themselves, that’s why they try to duplicate them. Others want to have an influence in their own surroundings by spreading unsubstantiated rumours, in order to intentionally gain a reaction. The objective of this lecture is to prove that it is worth bearing other people in mind and to remember that they expect the truth and that they in turn trust us. Lies are abused in all areas of life but aiming for happiness and joyfulness through lies can’t be justification enough for liars.References
