While I do not consider myself a liar I could identify several occasions where I have used gray, colorless, red, and blue lies. We unknowingly lie to ourselves and others on a daily basis. When I ask someone how they are doing and they answer with either \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cgreat\u201d a lot of the times I follow up my question with \u201chow are you really doing.\u201d I am surprised that the majority of the time people elaborate on their original answer and even sometimes change their original response. What\u2019s even more fascinating is that when I ask the follow-up question the person never admits they lied. They simply brush their original answer to the side for an honest one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I think everyone experiences gray lies on a daily basis, especially when you do not want to answer a question honestly or even at all. I like the description that colorless lies are often \u201cself-deception\u201d (Pg. 25). I really resonated with this in my everyday life. An example being when someone asks me how much work I have for that day or week. As students, we often tend to downplay the amount of work we have for an assignment or class. This \u201cself-deception\u201d allows us to be more at ease when taking a break or choosing to do something else instead of work. I think that blue lies appear most often in everyday life, especially within the classroom. An example being when a professor asks if the class has any questions and two things happen. One, no one says anything because it might be the end of class and they are trying to leave as fast as possible. Or two, students may feel that even though they have a question that the best answer to give is \u201cno further questions\u201d because that is deemed to be the best answer. All in all, I am more aware of how often I lie and how often others lie on a daily basis. Taking this a step forward, how exactly do you think we can prevent various forms of lying moving forward?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found the different types of lies to be extremely interesting from this week\u2019s reading.
