"I have never ever lied".Hearing this,i be-lie-ve,everyone of you is laughing.Yes, sometimes we do lie,but the condition must occured when this lie was necessary and could decrease some unnecessary problems and suspicions,but in fact your behavior just created suspicions.
You may continue to ask "Suspicions and distrust are the poisons of relationships,so what would you do after your taradiddle was exposed?" At least i don't know what to do,just know that i must die very hard look.
So here i wonder how did you lie,what's your most "successful" story you had made up,is it still unrevealed,don't tell me that you'll laugh to wake up even when you're asleep.Feel free to share with me,or in a sence,repent to me.I'll forgive you,i promise.

Wow, I can't think of any lies I made in particular, but I do lie from time to time. I think that people have to lie in every day life, and saying that you don't is, well, a lie.
I don't think people should lie about major things, but a world where everyone was completely honest would be a world where everyone hated each other.

Agreed,we should be clear-minded and never hold fluky mentality in dealing with matters of great importance.In a world where everyone is completely honest,the liars must be benefited most,and then everyone starts to lie.We should find a balance point between lying and be honest.

oh well, i do lie at times! It must be part of everyday's consequences to face. It's also part of the artistic way of our mentality. It is somehow disgusting but it's the reality that at times we have to lie or we can encounter lies in our way.
I must admit that i have encountered in my previous life that i made such lies to myself, considering i was refusing the reality within me.But with no one with me could ever tell me if this is bad or good. Partly, I, myself could be the only one could tell about it!

I would not say that I never lie. I have to tell lies many times but in most of the cases I do not do it with bad intentions. I do not have any regreats for telling lies when I do it to make someone happy.
As a teacher, I know that the student has not done good job but just to motivate him I say "Great Job, you are improving fast, keep it up". Now this is not because I want to tell a lie, but I know that my such words will make him feel great and will enhance his self confidance and that is what my job is...In such situation there is no chance of getting exposed.....!
I think that the worst thing would be to tell a lie and then getting caught.

Your students must like you very much,cause they could always get self confidence and encouragement in your class.But I think the so-called lies you told are not real lies,your students could make it if they really try their best to study hard.Happy mylotting.

i am not a saint nor perfect. So i lie before such as the so call white lies just to save my group feasibility study when I am unable to complete it and pass on due date. I and my group decide to lie as an excuses and the professor accept our alibi. I could not lie every now and then since i just so easy to get caught I could be caught nervous, laughing or just could not stand looking straight on the eyes of the person. So t is not my forte to lie except in other cases I may do so when it is really need.

Oh, my friend. I made a new discussion about honest yesterday, while you made one about lie. hahaha...
Though I encourage people should be honest to the others; it not mean I oppose all kinds of lies. Just as you said, lying is an art in our lives. When we play with friends, we can tell lies just for joke. Besides, we all know a white lie is existed in our society.

Everyone is not saint nor prefect,so sometimes we would rather tell a lie than be honest,and the lies could really reduce some unnecessary problems,the situation is much different from white lies?White lies are often used to comfort our friends when they are depressed or have no confidence.But sometimes we lied just in order to make things not to become complicated,once these lies were exposed,you would be pretty embarrassed.

I also did lies.Because I'm just afraid if somebody will get hurt if I'll tell the truth.I'm just considerate of the feelings of others. That's what we called "white lie". :)

I think for me, is that when i ate all the seafood in my cousin's house and i didn't say anything and they turn it to my brother. Everytime i remembered it, i feel bad for my brother who get yelled at. It was me, but i didn't say anything.. i was hungry that time and i asked my sister for food but she didn't give me anything. I also lied in myself, i always thought that i did it because of my sister, the way she treat me. but it's not..maybe because i am bad sister. And i really feel bad about my brother who get yelled at with my sister for not doing anything.
