Have you ever seen someone who has never lied?
If you do, introduce me to that person. I would be more than happy to meet that person.
No one's perfect, and a relationship, any relationship, would use the help of some lies to make things better. It would've been better to lie to your girlfriend that you didn't go to the bar to get a drink than telling her the truth and having her suspect that you're having an affair. It would've been better to lie to your wife that you have erectile dysfunction than telling her that you don't want to have sex with her because you don't find her attractive anymore. It would've been better to tell your parents that you're busy for the weekend and wouldn't be able to visit them than telling them that you're sick of travelling 500 miles every weekend to visit them. And the list of lies goes on.
Lies are not necessarily negative. Some people lie for bad reasons, some claim to lie for good reasons, but some claim to lie just for the fun of it. The bottomline is that everybody lies, no matter what the reason is.
So, the next time a person says he doesn't lie, he is actually lying for saying that he doesn't.
P/S: Yes, I do understand that my points aren't stated out clearly and this entry is far too short than it should be. Have lots of things to blog about, but I just didn't have the mood to make myself write.
