Myths and Lies

People make up all kinds of lies and myths about others everyday. Whether its in the latest issue of People Magazine, or the latest rumor in the hallway at school, lies ar told all the time. The biggest reason why I think that people tell lies are because people are jealous of others. When people make up false stories or myths about another person, they may do this because they want to see the other person made fun of or hurt. Telling lies makes that person feel better about themselves when they see the other person looked down upon. It is pretty pathetic how people act sometimes, but it is the truth. In the world of celebrities, people tell lies so that they have the latest breaking news on a celeb. A myth sort of gives you the sense that it could be true or false. You normally here the word myth, when someone is talking about something from the old days, or something bizarre and mysterious. When I here the word lie, I think that the information is completely false. There is a difference in the meaning of the words to me, and I think that many others could tell this difference as well. Nobody in today's world says, "Oh my gosh did you hear that myth about Eminem?" Everyone always says the word lie. You hear the word myth when someone says, " There is an old myth about the Indian spirits that are still around." Anyways, myths and lies are told all the time whether we choose to believe them or not.
