Journal 6

Well, if you blame somebody for something he or she did not do, than a lot of things could come back to haunt you.  For one thing, that person will definitely not like you from now on.  If you say something that he or she did not do, than it would be telling them that they are the dumbest person ever.  What do you expect as a response to that?  If you expect them to like you still, than maybe you are the dumbest person, but you should expect them to hate you.  Another setback that could come with lying about someone else, is that your reputation could be affected by this in a negative way.  If somebody finds out that you lied about someone or something, than that could come back to hurt you.  Word will get around that you lied about someone, and people will begin calling you a liar and they will not believe you in the future.  There is nothing worse than not being trusted by other people.  Soon it is like people do not want to be around you and pretty soon you will not have any friends.
Another major problem about lying about another person is that one, that person will feel really bad that you just made something up about them.  Two, people may not know that the person is lying and they will take what they said for the truth and they will view the other person a lot differently.  That person that was lied about may never be able to regain what he had if people think that what was said was true, and they will be devastated by what happened.  Either way, if it is a lie it will hurt both people, so you may as well not make up a rumor that can be spread.  It will either come back to haunt you, or it will haunt the person possibly for the rest of their life, so just do not say it.
