Iranians and Power of lying!


Iranians although have a long history, they always live in vulnerability and instability. They never had security and stability during their history! Just look at the history of Iran and see how many times Iran (Persia) has been occupied with foreigners:

- 330 BC Alexander occupied Iran (Perisa);
- 642 Arabs occupied Iran;
- 1259 Chingiz Khan occupied Iran;
- 1722 Afghans occupied Iran;
- 1729 Russians occupied north of Iran;
- 1850 Red coats occupied south of Iran.

In addition to all these major occupations, you have to take into account all natural disasters and crisis, revolutions, coups etc. If you think about these, you will understand that Iranian people, who their lives, families, properties and assets were under danger, had no other chance than lying to protect and keep them! Therefore, during long history of Iran, lying has become part of Iranians daily life and character. It is bitter but it is true that it is part of Iranian’s nature to lie and they believe their own lies too! Once I read somewhere:

“Power don't come from a badge, or a gun
Power comes from lying
Lying big and getting the whole damn world to play along with you”

This statement may be true and Iranians have understood it very well to protect themselves or gain what they want! Friends lie to their friends, manager’s lie to their colleagues, government to their people and vice versa. Lying has become something normal in Iranian’s daily life no matter where they are in the world. For 100% sure lying is the best tool for achieving your goals in short term, no matter what they are, you can get what you want in short term by lying! You can go to a job interview and lie about your skills and abilities! Bigger your lie, bigger your salary! But once you are in the position the D-day will come and you will be asked to do something you claimed you were capable of! I am sure you know the rest…. But how about the future? Can you lie forever? Can you play with people in your life forever? There will one day that your lies will be revealed and then no one believes a word comes out from your mouth! More lies you tell, more they become part of you. Then you start believing your own lies and that’s day you start making mistakes! Just read!
