why do people lie??

People lie in different situations for different reasons. People sometimes need to lie. There is a good explanation on the movie Liar, Liar. =)

It is best to tell the truth for several reasons. No guilty concience for one and it is a important one. Another is that you can forget the lie you told and get caught and no one would want to trust you. I might omit telling someone something to spare them pain and mental hurt. But that is my way of sparing them.

i don't know,maybe because is in our nature to lie

people lir because its for many propose..some lie jus to hide their truth,some lie jus to b safe from their fault ...and some lie so they can seem innocent..

well, people lie because they're hiding something that others don't want to know. For example...a killer...you ask him if he killed the man...what would you expect him to tell you?

its required in some situations to say the lie inorder to save from difficult situations..ther is nothing bad in that since we are saving ourselves from the situation....there is a proverb say 100 lies but do a marriage...even though we are lying lies we are doing good things...i too lie in some cases if necessary....

In certain situations you HAVE to lie..or else you could get injured or killed. Other instances you lie to protect your personal life..which depending on THAT situation can be right or wrong. Most people lie either because it's become a habit or because they can..some do it for fun, some for spite. Everyone's got a different reason. Always telling the truth can make your life hell. But always lying can do that too. Moderation's the best thing..you just gotta judge each situation individually.
