"Liar, liar pants on fire.
" Be it a small white lie or a big, serious one, lying, regardless of degree, form, cause, or outcome; would always remain a lie.
Your pants may not catch fire or suddenly burst into flames no matter how extensively you weave lies, but one thing is for sure: your health could adversely be affected by it.
And since when has dishonesty ever incurred health consequences? We all know that lying comes with moral and spiritual implications, but noticeable health effects? To clue you in on how your degree of honesty could actually determine your health liability, consider these truths: Lying Falls Under Emotional Stress Let us face it, for some people, lying is not stressful, especially if they are habitual liars.
But for most of us, we have never been totally liberated from that uneasy feeling every time we had to lie.
Though we can manage to get away with it given certain circumstances, it rarely happens that we do not feel that pang of guilt poking at us every time we have to be dishonest.
This pang of guilt, though light and hardly noticeable, is a manifestation of emotional stress.
Depending on the lie, our personal orientation towards honesty, and of course, the consequences at stake, every lie automatically translates to our getting stressed emotionally.
Once compounded, the results this would have would result to either of these two possibilities: we become compulsive, heartless liars (which means we are no longer stressed out every time we lie) or we experience a variation of negative health manifestations, ranging from tension pains to cancer.
Higher Stress=Higher Cancer Risk Lying is established by a complex pattern.
There is no one reason explaining why people lie, and the degree whereby our honesty is measured and practiced could be attributed to a diversified number of individualized factors both personal and social.
But in feeling that pang of guilt poking at us every time we have to lie, it only means that lying cuts both ways: in lying to someone, we lie to ourselves too.
Why? We deny the presence of that negative emotion that burdens us whenever we have to do it.
So all in all, this means that the adverse effects of lying are always multiplied twice, hence, it could be surmised that the emotional stress each lie brings with it is automatically doubled.
And with this comes the double risk of experiencing the health dangers that could result from becoming too emotionally stressed out.
Stress has been linked to a variety of outcomes.
Negative stress, in particular, has been most considerable since medical advice has scientifically identified it with the many different illnesses most people complain about these days.
But more than the usual exhaustion and body pains that can be addressed with over-the-counter medications, stress that is accumulated over time could promote dangerous illnesses in the likes of cancer.
Setting aside genetic factors, most cancer patients have been known to have suffered from extensive and intense stress involving sizable personal losses, to the point that they may have already come down with depression.
