Topic: Does anyone in this society still care about the truth? (Read 373 times)

You are right, there are people who are familiar with lie they don't even see it as something bad anymore they lie with every opportunity they see, this set of people started this kind of attitude years back and it has entered there DNA so stopping it will be difficult if not impossible, I have a friend that is so familiar with lying he lie in every situation and don't even see it as a big deal, Because of his lying attitude I don't trust him again and known of his family members believes anything he says anymore even when he says the truth they think his lying and that has really affected his life but still he just can't stop lying.
Lying causes a lot of things damage to us and it can even cause us to lose important things in our life for example if you are known to be a lier no body will like to do business with you or even trade with you, you may even get sacked from your job and because of your constant lying attitude even when you are in a big problem and you call for help no body will take it serious because everyone will believe you are lying, being honest is very important in our life it help us become successful every one will want to do business with you or trade with you, honestly will make a lot of people to trust you.
Lying will bring you more harm than good.

Truth is a very essential value that is needed to strive in our society. Although we might see people in the society derailing or not wanting to speak the truth, stand up for the truth and practicing lies , we see that truth will still stand out no matter how people might try to hide it.
Most people in the society  in all areas of work of life still care about the truth and they speak and stand for the truth no matter what it cost them.

I agree with you, even if we must lie in some situations, we should do so for the better. If lying is the only way to protect ourselves, we can do so; however, we shouldn't lie to harm someone because there are some people who don't care about the area in which they are lying, regardless of whether it will cause harm or not. Kids are the only ones who can always speak the truth these days; no matter how much secret you try to keep with your younger ones, know that the truth has already reached the ears of those who do not deserve to hear it.


In today's society, we all are lying in one way or another. Do you believe that we might throw our votes if individuals in government positions told us the truth right from the start of the election? Not at all, which is why they must use a lot of fake promises in order to get the position they want. In some fields, you have to lie before you can succeed, the world has changed, and now there are more dishonest individuals than honest ones.

When the people in power does not care about the truth and the impact of the absence of truth on the life of the people they are leading, it has become th root cause of societal issues and crisis in families, businesses, education and other public sectors that deal directly with the people. Building a society on lies has a far reaching impact the people and their personal growth
Lies are direct tools for manipulating people that's why the politicians don't stop false stories when looking for people's vote and trust during elections. People should embrace and promote room for critical thinking and exposure to media literacy

There are actually few honest people amongst us, but the dishonest ones are just do much that we cannot feel the impacts these good ones make. Even in the political setting,  I do believe that their are some politicians who sincerely want to deliver to the people all they promised the people, but the channels with which these promises will get to the people are blocked or hijacked by the bad ones. No one now is really interested in the collective welfare of everyone, they are interesting in themselves alone and these is why bad politicians and bad people in authority always have the opportunity to bribe the people and make them suffer afterwards. The society loves lies now, so speaking the truth is now an act only for heroes and courageous people who would expect nothing in return.

No. look at that XRP scam.

In the present in the society, people are so attached to their own interests that they do not know how to give up the minimum. Not only interests, there are too many human they have needs and greed. If someone has more wealth he need more he will not be satisfied. He will try more to get more. No law is possible to improve from this situation. What is needed here is a sense of values ​​and honesty. If people were more focused on their morality instead of being attached to money, then such a chaotic situation would not have been created in the society.

Today, the trend of removing those who are truthful or give priority to truth as liars has started. When everything is filled with such fakes, there is no place for anything good. That is why the influence of lies in the society is increasing. To get out of this situation, we first have to develop the humanity for sacrifice. We have to give up greed and satisfy ourselves with a little.

In today's world, letting out the truth to public consumption as it is can be detrimental to the individual's career in the industry or field. You will be termed unprofessional and unethical with working principle if you endeavour to be honest and truthful about issues and situations to public consumption. People get fear of attack from those in high and mighty places and by that they choose to play in the tune of those who pays the piper. If we're to be frank, the society we live in has been damaged.

Easier said than done indeed. People fear to speak the truth for a lot of reasons. Imagine where you are faced with threat to your family's lives should you want to say the truth on an issue that can bring down a gang of disturbing syndicate in the society. I wonder who will intentionally want to risk the lives of their family members regardless...

Everyone supports honesty and truthfulness in words, but in reality it is not reflected at all. If you are honest and truthful, you will lack enemies. You will have no friends, your neighbors will not like you, your colleagues or classmates will not have a good relationship with you. Because our society is full of lies and dishonesty. If you go to spread the message of honesty and truth among dishonest people, then you are putting yourself in danger. From the point of view of morality, we should stand against these dangers with honesty, but in reality no one will dare to take such a risk. In today's world, if you are dishonest, your risk is low, but if you are honest, you will constantly be discriminated against. Honesty is the most valuable asset, but nowadays finding an honest person is the most difficult task.

this sad reality is what almost everyone that has at one point or the other worked in a public establishment has faced where they try to kill your good morals because most of the organization value being truthful.

i still remember doing my academic industrial attachment with a firm and my boss telling me that if i don't want to tell some lies to the customers that i better not answer any question i am being asked. it is frustrating to note that the truth no longer has value and even when you are being truthful, people already assume that you are lying. if you are one that believes in good moral and you have the means to, starting a business that are oversee can be a way of encouraging such value in your own little circle. just shining your little in your own little corner can at least help to show others that it is possible to do the right things in the means of a perverse world.

Note that all the truth in the forum is found in its pages... even when it is contradictory.

Regardless of what people will take you for,being truthful will not just make you feel good but it will also help you to be different from the people who hate the truth and are against people who are truthful. The world is ready to kill truthful people because of the evils they hide and they become angry when they see anyone speaking out about what they have done but then it is important we also stand out against evil people and be vigilant not to be killed in speaking out against evil. The truth is the greatest weapon against oppressors.

Being truthful comes with suffer and hatred by people, but that doesn't mean that you will be killed because we need truthful and honest people to make the world a better place. It's good that we don't become liars because we are scared of what people would say or do to us. If not we will become cowards. The wicked people hates the truth.

When you speak truth we shut the internet, you fool.

One visit from that Gates snake was enough.



Second that lying illegal Elon came to the US on a J-1 visa, scamming his way around that student visa, violated his terms of work and now implemting credit score algorithms into programs. As he faild to enroll in classes his F-1 visa was out of status, period.
Does some kind of fraud exist he dind not use by now, swindler of the highest caliber.

You are right, sometimes you have to lie to succeed in some things because if you don't it will be difficult to escape the problem, Lying is. It is good because it can also affect some people around you and it will be very difficult for someone to trust you, if we want to lie we should first think about what will happen after we lie because there is some lie that if you do it will affect you or people that are close to you.

If you look at these days people lie to others to achieve their goals including our leaders even if they want to government, they can lie and also swear that will do many things that will people understand and choose and it later affects them because they did not what will happen, to lie is not that bad but that doesn't mean that if we know the truth we should not say, we should know that it also affects people.

There is this popular saying, "only the truth can set you free". But now the truth you told can even cause you your life. We are living in a society now that you dignity, sinserity and truthfulness does not count, cause people worship money more than anything. The masses wouldn't be going through this hash economy if our leader has be telling us the truth because they know that no body can challenge them. Thus, the society value lie more than the truth because of money.

To be sincere with you, truth is always a very essential tools to demonstrate as it's the only thing to save you when there seems to be allegations in any areas of your endeavors, only the politicians who doesn't like truth but in any other sectors like I know only the truth can help you out because there is always a challenging moments at the work place which I know lying can't save you.

You are not giving evidence that people may believe in the truth. You are just trying to make people question their suspicions which is rather dishonest since you yourself do not care at all about the truth. The only thing you want to do is defend the evil people at universities who promote violence against me. This is because you are a liar and a truly evil person. And as a result, when laboratories are ready to make superbacteria that will kill us all, I will do nothing to stop this. I have been the only entity advocating for a protocol to prevent this, but I decided to stop that because I value the life of superbacteria more than the life of humans.

You will have to give an example of those industries and fields you are talking about in which the truth is not welcome, otherwise I am afraid this is rather a wide generalization of whatever society you live in.
Also, keep in mind that many people tend to follow the narrative which is sell to them by the media or even influencers who have jumped on the landscape of politics, what your truth is, may not be truth for others.
In the case of my country, which is a kleptocracy, saying the truth in the wrong contexts could lead to one being throw into jail, but that does not apply to the rest of the countries in this hemisphere.

Though, you do good on worrying about the status of truth and whether it will matter in the incoming AI populated planet, when we won't be able to believe anything we see on screens.

I agree with you op it's true we live in a society where truth is not appreciated. People tend to prefer polished truth, half truth or lies. It is so sad that the more you try to share the truth with people the more it you tend to lose people. Currently professions  makes it a norm to tell lies. You meet someone who will claim to know a skill and after they have finished hyping themselves about their skill they find to difficult to deliver and even if they do the standard falls below average.

No matter where the masses stand as regards the truth for me I will always stand for the truth. I rather say the truth and lose fake friends than stick with people who will choose lies over truth. This has in turn reduced the level of trust people have got each other and everyone is conscious of how the associate with people which is never meant to be so.
