Have we ever asked ourselves why we are so attracted by children and why are they considered innocent and genuine? Their inborn capacity of telling the truth strikes and amazes us. Then, growing up, they become a part of some social groups and gradually but steadily acquire skills which we call lies. In most cases we resort to a lie in order not to reveal our real intentions or disguise something unplesant.
But have we ever considered our life without lies? Would our life change drammatically if honesty was the pillar of society?
Surprisingly enough how our society would be if the church were a pillar of the thruth. If we have a cynical approach to such a subtle subject as religion we even quote the famous statement of the soviet leaders saying that religion is the opium of the masses. It`s a truth universally acknowledged that the church has always played an important part in the life of government. In the Middle Ages the church was betraying itself in order to indulge a privileged few in their insatiable need for unconditional power. It was preaching on God`s behalf vogorously struggling for quite mundane ideals. If it hadn`t hidden irrefutable facts regarding scientific progress and turned a blind eye on prophets, who knows where we would have ended up? It would have definitely contributed into a prosperous future.
Then again, if politicians didn`t bribe us with their false promises lulling our vigilance we would be able to discern the real one who doesn`t brainwash his voters` minds. Politicians are extremely adroit at wining over our views. Sometimes it seems that they are only a flock of crowd-pleasers who aren`t even capable of running their government and shoulder the responsibilities. They only capture a pubic`s attention with their pre-made sophisticated combinations of phrases, but that has always existed, it dates back into the Roman Empire where the art of deception was born.
To sum up, apparently we wouldn`t recognize the world we live in, because the stream of history would have veered drastically. And would we accept this new honest world?
On the other hand, everyone has been in an awkward situation when lies seemed the only proper thing to tell. How many times had we to concoct a plausible story in order not to hurt someone`s feelings? Sometimes, when it comes to crucial situations when you have to save face or be polotically correct you feel that the only way to solve the problem is telling a white lie. So it seems that a white lie is a vital thing to resort to.
By and large, honesty and lies are the perfect couple if play the same game. Honesty would probably fail to reign on her own.

Learning to write and speak a foreign language correctly requires having somebody to correct your grammar and usage errors.
Otherwise you may learn a substandard version of the language with deep-rooter mistakes and incorrect usages that are hard to get rid of.
A popular and tried-and-true way to learn languages involves writing texts in a foreign language on a daily basis and reading them aloud to a native speaker, who will correct any mistakes.
Native speakers or language professionals will review your text and correct all errors of style or grammar free of charge.
You can also request a sound recording of the spoken version of your corrected text that will let you hear the subtleties of pronunciation by a native speaker.
