Is lying morally wrong?



                                                         Is lying morally wrong?


    Lying is something that all of us are doing. I've never met a person who doesn't lie. It's like a part of our nature. There are people who lie more and who lie less.

   We are doing it for our credit or because we might hurt others. Lie isn't always bad, but this isn't good either.

   I prefer painful truth than beautiful lie. In my opinion, everybody deserves truth- even this unpleasant.

  As far I can see it, lying in "small things" isn't bad, but in this more serious, like betrayal or murder, is morally wrong. When lie is about "me" and it isn't about something serious, then it should be personal- I can't decide in someone's business.

 For me, lying is bad but it isn't a crime.- of course, when it isn't linked with the law. So, I am trying to avoid it.

    It's good to know you prefer painful truths. Are you absolutely certain? :-)

What Jane Austen can teach us about resilience

Image
      Jane Austen is one of the pioneer in world literature. Her "Pride and Prejudice" is also one of the most famous book in the Europe. When I heard about her for the first time, I thought of her as a calssic romantic writer- with beautiful language and a great story. It lasted for a long time till i got "Pride and Prejudice"- which I finished in one sitting. I just couldn't get my eyes from the book- and it wasn't about romance that she wrote abou but also the vibe that the book gave me. After reading this article, I see her in much better lighting- not only as a taleneted woman but also as an excellent observer. Personally, I rode only one of her book and I watched the movie "Sense and Sensibilty", so I know what is it about. But as far as I got to know her works (or work because of one book), she was always interesting, so she was quite often on my mind. I always wanted to find an explanation what exactly I like about her, but atr first I was ...

Orientalism in fashion :)

        ORIENTALISM IN FASHION Asian culture is source of inspiration for fashion designers since 17th century. The influence of this continet on Europe was vast! It begun beacuse the import of things from Asian culture increased, like Chinese ceramics or tulips from Turkey to Holland. Also brewed leaf, known as a tea, was unfamiliar to Europe. There were new materials, patterns and accesories in fashion that many people started to use. It all came to our continent from 17th to 19th centuries. Orientalism has its beginnig in Gothic and Barrocco. European style was mixed with new, Japanese, for example, old-fashioned robes were worn with oriental floral motifs (the symbolic flower was chrysanthemum).

Also " A Thousand and One Nights" became famous, so many of this costumes was inspired by asian...

Sylvia Plath: Will the poet always be defined by her death?

Image
  When I was scrolling throught the page of the BBC Culture, I had no idea what should I write about. So I became really happy, when I noticed article about Sylvia Plath- the writer, who wrote one of my favourite books- „The Bell Jar”. The fact that Sylvia Plath commited suicide, covers her entire career. Most of the critics see her as the one who is doomed to tragedy- like if her whole life, from the beginning had only one ending. Plath became ac icon of rebellious but deppressed woman- her main character in the story, Esther Greenwood is also described in thgis way. It is even more concerning that Plath created Esther as her alter-ego. Her works are linnked in a one way or another with life and death, suffering in everyday life. She is constantly questioning the meaning of life and what people should do with it. But I noticed that if a reader is focusing on the dark side of the Plath’s book and poetry, they are missing one thing- the fact that she is also showing the little drops...
