It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

I always say that if you are sure about yourself, you should not worry about the things. If you lie to others, your conscious will tell you that it is a lie and why lying to yourself as long as you know that it is a lie?

From the religion point of view, a real man is measured while facing obstacles and when lying to people, you cannot lie your conscious and the Almighty God who is our Creator cannot be lied as He knows the past, present and the future! Unless that you are not a Christian nor believe in God that you can behave in such a way.

From the scientific point of view, you can lie others but your research shall be expelled once caught in fraud and not able to defend it before the members of the jury. Even in academic context, you can be penalised from copyright or plagiarism. At the end of the day, you will put yourself in a bad position from the idea to lie, which is called a poor idea as your own conscious knowing the status of your situation and even facing the charge, you will not be able to defend yourself before the judge unless that you do not care about your conscious and would not mind to cheat or to be called a criminal because the idea to lie to yourself will lead you to criminality.
