A exaggeration it's a said, a comment, an event expressed or specified by someone and characterized by exceeding the limits of what is considered true or sensible.
Comment that is characterized by its excess and that can affect its veracity
Although the exaggeration will not necessarily be a lie, it will be quite similar to it, because for example the event in question may have happened in reality but to it a series of questions, data, and surrounding conditions were added involuntarily or deliberately, that they are not real and are the product of exaggeration with which the event itself becomes completely distorted and does not respond to the truth of what happened.
There are situations in which exaggeration will be a serious problem because the truth of a fact is not being respected and then it can happen that an investigation is hindered, or that a person's reputation is damaged, with those sayings that were added to an event and they weren't real.
There are people who have a natural inclination to exaggerate everything they see, and so every time they tell us something we will have to take the precautions of the case and corroborate for ourselves what really happened, it is not going to be a matter of believing something that does not have nothing to do with what happened.
In some contexts, exaggeration can be the most harmless and only remain as an anecdote of the way of being a person, but in some situations it can generate problems, because by not being sticking to the truth of something that happened or was said, it may affect someone's reputation.
Causes: making a profit, harming someone or showing what you are not
Exaggeration is a situation that occurs very frequently among human beings and can respond to various causes, among which are: to obtain some benefit from a third party that is desired and that if this need is not exaggerated it may not be satisfied by the same; to harm a person in any way; with the desire to want to demonstrate something that is not really, for example not to lose a social position achieved, among other options.
There are many people who live in a general state of exaggeration and then everything that happens to them is exaggerated to the maximum with the mission of taking advantage or finding empathy in others.
Literary figure of exaggeration: hyperbole
Literary or rhetorical figures are procedures that are used at the behest of literature as a way of adding emphasis to it, to give it greater expressiveness, let's say.
The mission is to say something in the most beautiful or attractive way possible, while there are several figures of this type, hyperbole being one of the most recognized and having a special relationship with the concept of exaggeration that concerns us.
Then, at the urging of the Rhetoric, the exaggeration turns out to be a very popular rhetorical figure, formally called hyperbole So what It consists of premeditated exaggeration, either increasing or diminishing the truth of what is told, with the mission that the receiver of the message attributes greater importance to the action that is related than to the quality that distinguishes the actionThat is, the idea is that the receiver does not forget or ignore in any way what is said, generate a great impact.
It is generally used to overly amplify a fact or event.
There are various kinds of hyperbole and many of them are widely used in our current language: "I called you a hundred times on the phone and you never answered me, after that I decided to leave," let's agree that no one calls a hundred times, at most two or three times, in a situation like bliss.
Hyperbole is used especially in literature to highlight qualities, emotions, feelings, and it is done through the use of an intense, passionate tone in the words that are used.
