Lewis Thomas- The Lie Detector

If there is one thing that is certain in this world it is that EVERYONE has told a lie. For whatever reason it may be we have all done it. Of course society looks down upon it because as Lewis said we are an interdependent species that relies on each other therefore we need trust. So when someone is caught in a lie, it may very well be the end of the world for them. Their credibility is flushed down and can no longer be trusted. Yet it is something so commonly done by the entire world that there shouldn't be a reason to make such fuzz about. Everyone wants to believe that we are not being lied to because we want to truly trust someone. However that may never happen even if it's a white lie, a lie is a lie.
