The Phenomenon of Human Security.
How The Ripple Effect of Deception Works.
The factors that motivate human’s behavior and decision making, whether in relations with other groups or in support of national policies, are far more complex than a rational calculation of costs and benefits.
Psychology has specified a range of biases that influence human behavior and decision making, in particular with regard to the groups with which humans identify and in which they categorize others.
The consequences of dishonesty can be extremely severe.
So if you want to live a stress free life simply stop being dishonest.
For a liar, living with the constant fear of being discovered, the guilt of deception and the cognitive strain of maintaining false narratives can lead to anxiety, depression and a fragmented sense of self.
Widespread dishonesty can also lead to an erosion of trust in society.
When lies become normalized in business, marketing,politics, media etc.it creates a cynical population less likely to engage in civic participation or believe in institutions.
