Deceit

The cold feeling of deceit. Something we all abhor. What is it? Deceit is basically another word for the common "lie". Deceit is to make a false claim, with the intention of making others beleive it to be true. Any intention to trick one is deception. There are certain types of deception "intentional deception", which are not associated with lying, these could be to physically deceive, for example, if i was to change my sex (an abominable thought, just before i get booed off stage), then that in itself would be a form of deception, because i would be making out to be a male (because i am a female), i would dress like a guy, cut my hair short, grow some facial hair, adjust my voice box, have several operations here and there, i would be deceving the onlooker who would take me for the opposite sex, without realising i am not actually, however this type of deception is not seen to be quite so threatening, as it is linked personally to myself and to no one else. If however my form of "intentional deceit" was to hurt another person, if for example i was to cheat on my beautiful fiance, something i would not ever think of doing, because he is absolutely perfect in every way, and i hope he doesnt read this any time soon, but if i was to deceive him, by forming a relationship with another male, yet claiming to still love him, or to still be his "fiance" when i actually had feelings for another, then this is the sort of deceit which is evil in my eyes. You are intentionally inflicting pain on another. That is wrong.
