We were assigned, in my English 112 class, an essay about lie and its categories. No, it doesn't refer to the Long Island Expressway (LIE) ha, ha, ha.

Lie also called prevarication, is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others. Sometimes we lie to maintain a secret or a reputation.

Particularly speaking, every since I was a kid, my mother always taught us not to lie and to always tell the truth. Anyway, even if we wanted to lie to my mother, just by looking deep into our eyes she would know we were lying. I believe I developed the same, I should call it "trick" or whatever it is, from mom.

Just by looking into someones eyes I could tell whether he or she is telling me the truth or is just a plain lie. Of course, I have to know that person for quite a while in order for me to do that. I believe that honesty is the best policy, and makes the world a better place to live.

I did say in the past, one, or two so called "white lies" just to help one of my relatives or friends and would tell a white lie now or whenever any of my love ones need me to. When I say white lies I'm referring to untold truth just to save someone we like to avoid getting into trouble.
