"The Dark Background of the White Lies"
![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://i.imgur.com/Gcq3cSz.jpg)
White lies allow coexistence and coexist peacefully and without major conflicts as it lies to keep a job, a relationship or a friendship; because what would a world be like in which each person told the others everything they really think and think about it?
However, although it seems that this way you can continue living in society, you discover the background of white lies since cheating often becomes a problem even when we believe our own lies.
It is very important to mention that studies carried out by the director of clinical content of Get Mental Help in the United States, Derek Wood, explain that "human beings lie mainly out of fear. Fear of a consequence, of a punishment, even fear of what they will say.

Derek Wood says that then the cause of the lie is another: to get what you want: either sex, power or money "(Martinez, 2017) what teaches us in the end is that you lie because you want, because at the moment you know how to do it and because in some way it will benefit.
It should be noted, that more lies, more white substance. A team of researchers from the University of Southern California found that "the structure of the brain of compulsive liars is different from that of the honest." Specifically, they have detected that compulsive liars have more white substance than gray matter in the frontal lobe of the brain.

As defined by Patrick White in the article types of lies "A lie, however, does not contain a complete malice when it is uttered in defense of honor" (Benítez, 2013) which indicates that pious lies can be justifiable if anyone They cause harm and are said to avoid great pain.

In other words, a pious lie is disguised, a white little lie exempts us from guilt, what you have to avoid is to fall into the dark web of becoming liars, because secretly this way you start and you can lose control.
