When Everybody is a Liar !
Jun 13, 2017 03:12pm Edit Delete
In his book, 'Born Liars', Ian Leslie argues that each one of us are hardwired to be aliar.
Causes a lot of problems, isn't it ?
In the movie 'Italian Job', that quote is apt when it says 'Trust the person but notthe devil within him or her !'
Our God is also a lie our religion is also a lie ?
What is the agenda of all these liars or all of us just habitual lies ?
We live with our without an agenda ? We lie for convenience ? We lie for social-conformity ? We lie to hide our feelings ?
Or rather the right question to ask is 'How damaging is one's lie ?'
We wonder what is the cause of world-wide suffering, chaos, loneliness, isolation,depression and misery,
When all that people do is to lie, lie and lie all the time ?
The lie.
Some lies that are damaging are the lies we tell ourselves - 'I am gonna fix this ! Iam gonna get my act together ! I am gonna do this ! I'm gonna get this done ! I'mgonna get this fixed !'
No you are not !
Unless the wherewithal and the willingness to solve the particular problem orcommit to a particular act in question,
Unless you really really want it,
Take it in writing, you will never muster your courage and get around to do it.
We should at the least, stop lying to ourselves
It hurts nobody but us and sometimes, our relationships.
These are the most damaging lies of all.
Because, these kind of lies damage nobody but ourselves.
Be real with yourself.
At times, you may face or have to face some situations that in order to stop lyingto yourself and consequently be real with yourself, you have lied to others as lyingis hardwired in your brain. It is deeply-rooted in the human-psyche.
How about some situations where you have lied just to put the other person,friend, collegue or associate, at ease ?
Or you wondered that speaking the truth might 'hurt' them / they would not be ableto deal with 'it' ?
Or at times you wonder, that they might needlessly / unnecessarily interfere in yourgoals or the things you had in 'mind' if you spoke the truth and spoke your mindout ?
Lying felt like a survival instinct ?
In our culture, speaking one's heart out is said to be a mark of the 'fool' or 'wearingone's emotions up on the sleeves' and looked-down upon
Where does this come from ? Seriously ??
It needs to stop ...
We need straight communication, for a change.
World does not need any more communication-gaps. It already has created a lotof self-inflicted problems, sufferings and challenges due to communication gapsand manipulative talking.
Talking about the global implications of lying, there's always some kind of mediapropaganda going on furthering lies.
That's why it requires in-depth research to know the truth, to separate the truthfrom the lies. To separate the wheat from the chaff.
You may have got short-changed in the past because of other's lie.
It poses a real threat in the corporate workplace when you slog your ass off andyour colleague 'seems to' profit by lying and manipulating his / her way to the top.
That is a different topic, though ...
Requiring an in-depth analysis / case-study ...
Focus on the bold words 'seems to',
You just can't accuse somebody like that.
First you would need to bring solid-evidence of your colleague's lies andmanipulations,
As you would seem incompetent and be at fault,
However in business world, a lie could take the form of a fast-mover's advantageand win. Like : Facebook.
Though the idea of a social networking website, might be somebody else's,Zuckerberg is the owner and actual owner and founder. Others can't claim muchbut settle off their case against Zuckerberg for US Dollars 60 million in the court ofLaw for the credit they do deserve.
The book is well-researched.
The purpose of the book is to protect ourselves from liars and also to saveourselves from 'us', i.e. our own lies.
Taking a short look at the book summary :
"Our attitudes to lying are confused and contradictory - you might even say, self-deceiving."
"On the one hand we hate lies, and liars. On the other, we all indulge in fibs, talltales and fantasies. If lying is wrong, why do we all do it - both to others, and toourselves ?"
"In Born Liars, Ian Leslie argues that, far from being a bug in the human software,lying is central to who we are; that we cannot understand ourselves without firstunderstanding the dynamics of deceit."
"Using a vivid, panoramic style, he explores the role of deception and self-deception in our childhoods, our careers, and our health, and the part played bylies - both black and white - in art, advertising, sport, politics and war."
"Drawing on thinkers as varied as Augustine, Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud, IanMcEwan and Marlon Brando, he takes the reader on an exhilarating tour of ideasthat brings the latest news about deception back from the frontiers of evolutionarypsychology, neuroscience, and philosophy."
"Born Liars is crammed with colourful stories; we'll meet Benjamin Franklin in Parisas he takes on Franz Mesmer, the man who claimed to heal his patients bytouching them with iron rods."
"We'll hear about a spy who beat a lie detector, a man accused of cheating his wayto a million pounds on a TV game show, and we'll peer inside the minds of BillClinton and Saddam Hussein."
"Born Liars takes us on a fascinating journey which makes us question not onlyour own relationship to the truth, but also virtually every daily encounter we have."

Twelve years of Research !
Jul 12, 2017 12:30pm Edit Delete
If people think that I have been speaking bull crap about world dominance andcontrol and herding and division of humanity by the elites.
Or I am speaking just because I read some books and articles or that I myself havehidden political ambitions,
I have also had the privilege to meet and speak to thousands of people andconfirm these beliefs since the last 12 years when I was first introduced to JordanMaxwell - Matrix of Power (which made me to probe further) in 2005.
It is my twelve years of intensive research, study and hard work.
Thank you !

Bhaja Govindam - Seek the eternal
Jun 07, 2017 02:13pm Edit Delete
Why do people bother too much with getting things that are temporal ?
What is this madness in the world ? Why is this madness in the first place ?
Whatever that lies maybe on the other side of the death curtain, this one thing isfor sure :
Your body, your material possessions, your wealth and your fame are illusorybecause they cannot be carried further in the journey beyond.
This is the illusory nature of your life.
You are born into this world, you enter into this world with innate qualities.
As you live, you learn, love, grow and develop,
Depending on your life conditions and your situations in life that change from timeto time,
you perform your duties and your karmas,
as per your aptitude, your abilities, your skills, your experience and yourknowledge.
Your times change, people in your life change, your life changes, world changesand you
yourself change. You may change for the better or you may change for the bitter.
You may dedicate to humanitarian causes you could deeply relate to / with
At times, these may take a back-seat,
You may become like your oppressors or the people that hurt you or the systemthat hurt you.
As the society takes over you, your selfish endeavours may in turn take-over you.
There is this tendency.
If you adore capitalists like Steve Jobs,
Money-making would take-over and philanthropic causes would take a back-seat.
But do take time-out to read the letter/note, he (Steve Jobs) left behind on hisdeath-bed.
He himself said how twisted he had become in his pursuit of wealth and money.
Rest is for you to discover !
Whatever choice you may make, make an informed choice.
Whatever decision you may make, make an informed decision.
Are you meant to curse the world or bless the world ?
The world means all of humanity, wildlife, nature, environment.
Life is the legacy you leave behind in the world and the love you shared
Seek the eternal ! The eternal is all that remains with you into the beyond
There is no one to accompany you into the beyond.
You only carry your deeds along,
The kind of impact you created in the world and the footprint of humanity you leftbehind.
Make sure you leave your best !
