Using lies as a method

17/11/2023 Nilson Lattari

When people, countries and antagonistic groups are debating, they sometimes use arguments that don’t bother whether they are using historical truths or are supporting them by real facts. In these discussions, it is not important to say what these characters think of something or what they exactly want to express. In these debates, lies are the most important characters because liars are using them for destabilizing their opponents.
Certainly, when these groups have contact with real facts and simultaneously believe in lies the reality doesn’t affect them. Because they only aim to be victorious in competitions or debates. In such situations, like wars, information plays an important role whether it is true or not.
A lot of myths are forged through lies. Lies are created to impose fear, to spray disagreement and misunderstanding, and to quiet down opponents. In this case, liars aren’t afraid of embarrassment. They are used to tell lies and their listeners are tired to listen to them. Then, listeners’ silence in many situations doesn’t mean feelings of defeat but it can mean contempt for these people and situations.
Therefore, liars need to use this despicable art and they don’t accept that their words are not true and their words don’t get to persuade others as well. Liars are always sustaining their lies and they don’t care about the minefield where they are because in their points of view, there is only one possible way to organize the world: their thoughts and ideas.
Liars don’t emerge alone. Their existence fills the void of someone who needs to propagate the fantasies that exist only in their minds. It’s like a disease that contaminates people and institutions to persuade them that the world ought to run according to this behaviour. They want to decide that the world will be better in that way
Lies forge dictators and tyrants, and truths kill heroes. The truth is more shocking than the lie. The truth is a shock of reality whereas the lie is not.
Can I say that power derives from myths?
Lies produce fantasies, even if they are unrealistic, and for a short time it is possible to turn unreality into something digestible and acceptable. Lies create emperors and fortunes. Bluff, this elegant partner of lies, works to support them in credibility. Entrepreneurs’ speeches, self-help literature and words that propose methods to achieve success are perfect recipes to create a world of fantasy.
Lies are methods to attract naive and greedy people. Both groups of people behave in the same way: they want to get easy wealth without problems. Lies don’t like working, but their task is seducing these groups of people. And that’s the support to sustain lies.
Lies are vicious, perfect archetypes used by profiteers and opportunists. How many people shut up in the of lies when they can see the effect that lies provoke and they can get benefits, however, others will be injured?
As a method, lies are the skills to fancy an unreal world. People are facing problems to survive, and only an unreal world can be comfortable for them. Even if this unreal world lasts for a short time.
