"عقوبة الكاذب ليست على الأقل أنه لا يُصدق، بل أنه لا يستطيع أن يصدق أي شخص آخر."
— George Bernard Shaw
Simplified Meaning:
When someone lies a lot, their biggest problem isn't that others don't trust them, but that they lose the ability to trust other people. Imagine a boy who lies to his friends about everything. Over time, his friends find out and stop believing anything he says. However, the real trouble starts when the boy begins to think that everyone else is lying too. He starts doubting everything people say, even when they are telling the truth, because he projects his behavior onto them. If you spend all your time lying, you'll find it hard to imagine that others can be honest. So, the punishment for lying isn't just about losing others' trust—it's about losing your own ability to trust anyone. To avoid this, it's important to be truthful, so you can maintain open and honest relationships with others.
