Why do people lie?
People lie because they are just insecure about telling the truth. They don't want to get hurt or punished or they just don't want others to get hurt. In my mind, honesty is the best because telling the truth means you did the right thing which in the end is more important. Lying onky provides temporarily relief to the problem and can only cause more. Yes I have lied before... Everybody has; however, our consciences would be a lot clearer if we just told the truth!
