How to See Right Through a Liar

How to See Right Through a Liar  

By Dr. Marcia Sirota

Everybody lies, that’s nothing new. What matters is the type of lie a person is telling. White lies are usually told to spare someone’s feelings, and are often less hurtful than brutal honesty. The type of lie I want to discuss is one that’s told for the purposes of control, manipulation or profit.

Those of us in the West believe that we’re free to make our own decisions and live our own lives, but this isn’t always the case.

Many people and institutions want something from us: our money, power and votes; even control over our bodies, and they’ll resort to lying in order to achieve their goals.
