Lies

I had this question in my mind and need answer.

Why do people lie? I just don't understand why are people not happy with the truth? Try to camouflage themself as someone they are not? And they think people won't find out? As if the world is a very big space and they can hide the truth.

Well, let me see.. There are so many reasons that people lie to others. Like they do not want the other party to know about them, cause they are not sincere people. Or they are trying to take advantage of the other party, and telling the truth means the other party will not give in to them. Or they don't like the truth about them cause their life sucksss.. and they want people to think that they live such a happy life. Pity this kind of people.

The worst kind of lie is when you purposely tell people totally the opposite when being asked. Not telling is one thing, lying is another.

Well, I guess when the truth has at last be known, the least the liar can do is to explain why the lie. And if the liar simply did nothing to clear the air, that means that he/she does not even care if you find out the truth and your reaction to it. And they won't hesitate to lie again if given a chance.
