Do you know this saying? I know it since I was a child. My parents always told me that lying is wrong and you shouldn't lie. And you often lie? Don't you ever do that?

I rarely lie but not many people can be truthful all the times.

Yes you are right. Besides, it is sometimes difficult.

I lie sometimes mostly when I feel confronted (if they are being aggressive) though because I have had bad experiences with telling the truth when confronted my spine does dissolve but I am working on not doing that.

Yes, I also found that when I told the truth I was attacked. I've learned to speak the truth in a gentle way so that it doesn't feel like an attack on my part.

Lying is wrong and we shouldn't lie. But I would be lying if I say I never lie.

I think each of us once lied, even if he was a child.

I have never heard that saying, but it makes sense.

That makes sense, because apparently sooner or later the lie will come to light.
