Why do people lie?!
Question: telling the truth is much easier.
Answers: telling the truth is much easier.
Why do people tell others what they want to hear?
I am so sickened by this. It's saturated throughout our culture. Lies are used to get ahead, are used for conveniences or to avoid conflict.
Why is this chosen over truth?
If someone asks me if I think they look good in their blue coat jacket, and it doesn't look good, I'll ask them first, "Do you want me to tell you the truth or tell you what you want to hear?"
Of course, since curiosity does tend to kill the cat, they always answer back, "the truth", and of course, like the gullible idiot I can sometimes be, I give them the truth. The result? They never talk to me again. So, why did they answer back that they wanted the truth!? I should have lied and told them what they wanted to hear, because that's how society works. People thrive off of it. It makes them feel better about themselves, even if it's just an illusion. It's part of the work force~~a huge part of it. To lie is to get business deals and contracts signed between two parties. It's even done in the government. Hey, the president has never ceased to lie to us. I guess something profound could be said about this.
When does the lying end?
Hmmmmm.....good question.
I certainly do my best to tell the truth as much as humanly possible. Sometimes telling the truth could have grave reprocussions. It's really sad how life works that way. Also, there are a lot of gray areas to what is truth and what is a lie. Perfect example: the justice system. Need I say more?
All we can do is do our best.
If I am in the company of people who think the way I do and would rather tell the truth without getting the cold shoulder or to be on the receiving end of a lot of flack, I'll tell the truth~~ALWAYS!!! I think it's better to tell the truth and avoid the games.
Society makes it so one cannot avoid getting caught in a web. One is forced into it.
Truth be told, I'd rather tell the truth, that is, if everyone had enough of the stomach to take it.
I do.
Because sometimes the truth hurts, more then lying.
cuz ur fugly and u were brought into the world
They don't.
Because they can't handle the truth, so they take the easy way out instead of standin up for themselves.
I agree. Stay far away from liars because they seem to make it a habit.
It's human nature
but they feel like there's something to hide.
too much pride
They lie because they are too chicken to acknowledge what they have done.
Sometimes the truth is way to hard to force out. I lie sometimes but im not to proud of it i guess its just a inner self esteem reason.
truth are much harder to accept by others...
just tell a lie to save the trouble
because it hurts their back to stand up for too long
idk its a sin when people lie
yes its better when people tells the truth
people tend to want to please other people
discovery channel - jk
Because pride can be hurt by the truth.
yes but the truth hurts and its something everyone does
I hate lies. But some people do it so they don't get in trouble, or because they think it's better than the truth. (A lie is NEVER better than the truth.)
to take advantages from the situation by lying instead of telling the truth
I agree : )
to try and get by...to try and make the situation go away easier or just to get out of trouble....also to hide something...there are many answers and we cant know them all...
I don't know but it irritates me when I know people are lying, it is sin
because they are cowards, and dont want to take responsibility for their own actions
because we can
convenience.
You should direct this question to the democrats in the politics section.
they r cowards
idk, sumtimes its harder to tell the truth eventhou it pays off...
because it's fun ... sometimes
Some lie to protect the feelings of others
Some lie because they can't distinguish the truth from reality
Some like cause they just don't wanna get caught with their pants down
to cover an ***! whether it b their own by lying to u, or urself and theyr tryin to protect ur feelings.
