The client may still lie with you. You may believe he is true and you are prone to argue in favour of him. If he had been a liar, in no way you could be blamed, because you believed your client. So you should not feel for this.<BR/><BR/>But on the lighter side there is a joke about lawyers. A wall between Heaven and hell broke and people started migrating between both the places. God came to know about this and he announced that whoever changed should go back to their original places and gave some time. They then took account of people from both sides and found that there was one more in the heaven. So he started asking everyone's profession and how they died. Suddenly one man when he started " I was a lawyer.." God said "Stop it.. how could you be in heaven. Go to the other side." Just a joke.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-19265526505426691202007-06-25T13:01:00.000+01:002007-06-25T13:01:00.000+01:00Kavi,You are right.

I have seen a relative's kid watching this and asked back her dad " Why are you telling lies? You tell us to speak truth and you are now telling lies to Uncle". <BR/><BR/>A wrong example shown by the parents.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-60514154719219513452007-06-25T12:58:00.000+01:002007-06-25T12:58:00.000+01:00Veda,I know about you and have guessed having been...Veda,<BR/><BR/>I know about you and have guessed having been a reader of your blogs all these years. Yes... certain small lies... as long as it does not affect anyone is OK. Sometimes just not to hurt other's feeling, we may have to tell a lie. For example I knew someone who was about to die. We were told that he may live only for few hours. The doctor who was a friend of mine, was close by. The patient who was dying asked " I may not live long. Oh.. god it is paining". The Doctor said " Do not worry. You will be alright". The patient immediately said " Doctor, I know you are telling lies. How will things become alright. Neenga poi solreenga..." What to do? We knew he is dying, but can we say "You will die in few hours...?"Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-75294880637511625522007-06-25T12:52:00.000+01:002007-06-25T12:52:00.000+01:00Kittu,Well we tend to change a lot as we grow.

Everyone would have told a lie during their school days. As long as it did not affect others it is OK. Meeting eyes while telling a lie, is another problem. Even today, if my kids try to fool me, I ask them to look at me and tell and they laugh immediately. Many of us do get embarassed when we are told not to tell the truth, just because the others have told some lie, and would want us to save them. I never try to hide things if asked to. Anyhow, lies are one of the major cause for many problems around us.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-55305261773524963192007-06-25T12:44:00.000+01:002007-06-25T12:44:00.000+01:00Suji,You are correct.
