Do people have to lie in every thing why not be honest?

People really dont have to lie. Infact, people choose to lie. According to God everyone is a sinner. Although everyone is a sinner that does not give them the simple right to lie continuously.

Sometimes you have to lie to save peoples feelings. Other times you lie to save your neck. As long as it doesnt cause major problems or hurt someone its no big deal. I lie on this all the time...who cares? Noone knows me

Well you shouldn't be lying in the first place. It has been my experience that the truth alway's comes out. It is the nature of truth to come out and if you have to lie, be prepared when you least expect it, for the truth to come out.

No -  Lieing is horrible.  It only causes more problems down the road and it creates stupid stories that you need to keep strait.  Better to just be honest and own up to anything that you may do - being trust worthy is very important.  \n\nIt's so good to read all the responses to this question - they say it is not good to lie - it's gives me a tiny glimmer of hope for this world and the future...

This is such a general question that can'b possibly be answered fairly. There are many many motivations for lying: being considerate of how you feel, take advantage of you, etc, etc. Sorry for not able to answer your question completely. But I doubt anyone else can.

yes we should try to be honest and truthful always keeping in mind that one lie paves the path for another lie.

They have their ways.  Just bring everything and be honest.  Lying or concealing information can get you a denial.

Absolutely.\nImagine having to lie all the time. You will ALWAYS have to remember that lie and sometime down the road you will get caught up in telling that lie.\nTell the truth and you will always have a clear mind and conscience to focus on other things.\nPeople will respect you for it and will always turn to you for advice as they know they will get a correct and honest answer.

Beacause lying is convenient for them. Guys are comfortable at lying because they are afraid of what the truth really is, and how someone else will interpret it.

Why I think a lot of men and women lie to get what they want is because it's easier to lie..to go sneaking around cheating..or doing things behind their partners back. I think that when a person does this..it just shows that their cowards because usually people do it so they don't get caught or are afraid of getting caught...just be honest and deal with the consequences...

No.  It's advantageous to be truthfull most of the time.  This has been proven out in studies, game theory, and most of our ordinary lives.

It is always better to tell the truth.  Lying in any situation is unsound, and usually betrays a lack of courage - the courage to say "I don't want to answer that", or "Well, yes, you are a bit fat, but I love you anyway and if you want to change it why don't we work on it together?" or something like that.  Lying, ultimately, can only ever hurt you, and the person or people you lie to.

Some people will ike you a lot and some people won't be able to stand you.\nI am  like that and they either like me or can't stand me because of it. The more phoney they are, they more they hate me.\nIf you mean like should you lie about things you do or not, don't. The truth will always come out. It is fun to be blunt honest all the time. fun to see people's reactions.

Yes.  They can't say they are a liar if they always tell the truth.  Otherwise, technically, they'd be lying about their honesty and that would make them a liar.

this was told to me several thousands of times.  if you lie about the small stuff, you'll lie about the big stuff.\n\nWhen you break that trust with people, and you go to tell the truth, who would believe you. prime example, wtach the movie Cry wolf. infact the stroy cry wolf is a good reason not to cry wolf.\n\nBasically , when you start lying to family, you'll lie to friends, you'll even start to lie to your self. more then alot of people lie. Criminals and some religious people are your biggest liars, and lawyers as will XD.\n\nbut ask yourself this, how do you feel when you are lied to, I know it wants to make me rip somebody's head off. \n\njust remember, you reap what you sow. What comes around goes around.\n\nthe best and humble thing to do is take responsibilty for your actions. I respect people more who goes, "yeah, I messed, up" then  "Um, he did it."\n\nthe truth will set you free, my friend.

Not really. I think that there is a difference between giving half truth or lieing though. I think most of the time people lie because they do not want to hurt others. But what they do not realize is that the other person will usually find out that they were lied to and that hurts a lot worse then the truth.\nIt is best to tell the truth and just get it over with no matter how hard it is to say. Even if you half it or sugar coat it. At least be honest. And you have to be honest with yourself too before you can be honest with someone else. And being true to yourself is one of the most important qualities a person can have.\nI have taught my daughter I would rather her tell me the truth and she will get in less trouble then that than if she lies and I find out she is lying.
