It is a way of escaping the reality of a problem or it is a last resort because you do not want to embarrass yourself by being honest. Moreover, the adage “honesty is the best policy” does not always ring true for many. Sometimes we have to lie in order to get to the truth.

The lies they tell someone there simply from their tops of their heads.…
But what exactly is lying? Lying is to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive (Merriam-Webster). Everyone has heard the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf as they grew up. Which was about a little boy who jokingly deceived everyone for help, but when he really needed help, no one believed him. As a result, a lesson was taught that lying…

1. According to Ericsson, we all lie because we want to avoid confrontation, spare people’s feelings, and to get out of particular situations. To avoid confrontations, sometimes it is necessary to lie, for example, if you were talking about someone behind their back and they hear about it, you are going to deny that you ever talked bad about that person to avoid getting into an alteration. If someone is wearing an ugly outfit that they are real proud of, you are most likely going to lie to them by telling that someone that you love their outfit just to avoid hurting their feelings.…
I, personally, do not believe that cheating is acceptable in any situation. I don’t think you should be able to take drugs to make yourself a better athlete, diss your opponents during a political debate to make yourself look better, or allow someone to cheat off of your assignments and/or quizzes. It's not right for you to make personal gains at someone’s expense. I don’t believe cheating ever helps the greater good.…

Lying is never ethically okay, yet it is done on a daily basis and is therefore more widely accepted by various people. Generally, lying should be avoided, but there are many situations where it is justified. Instinctive lies, or lies that you automatically tell on the spot are usually ok because it is part of human nature to instinctively lie to protect ourselves. However, planned lies, like stories that you make up on the go or false ideas that you think of before expressing them should never be allowed. For example, if someone were to ask you if you ate the last piece of cake, depending on their tone of voice, for many, their first instinct would be to say, “No!,” without even thinking.…
A person may not lie in every altercation they have. but statistics show that an average person lies during one of every five confrontations. It is also not easy to detect when one is being lied to. Researchers have found that on a regular day a person can be lied to anywhere from ten to two-hundred times at least. The question remains, “Why do people lie?”…
It is crazy to think that an intangible object can almost define your relationship with someone. A relationship meaning your parents, a sibling, a family member, a good friend, a teacher, a spouse or significant other, or even someone you do not really know. There are a lot of components that go into a good healthy relationship; there is communication, respect, affection, responsibility, and transparency. But there is also something called trust, without it you might as well not have a relationship with that person. If you trust someone you are starting with a good foundation in the relationship.…
