Did you know that sometimes lying could be a sign of being noble and brave, and many a times it’s far easier and less painful to be honest. Many people tell the truth and get away with it cos they simply don't have to keep thinking what story they had made up last time. The truth never changes so it wouldn't be too difficult to remember would it?
I mean honestly is there really something great about being honest. Think about it, many a times when you admit that there is a certain flaw in you and can manage to take it when someone else says the same, people simply cannot tease you. I mean it's easier to pull someone’s leg when someone is lying or hiding something, if you come clear with something there isn't much fun in ranting on and on about something that's already been accepted by the person concerned. People simply lose interest, no mystery you see.
So you see when you lie, especially for unselfish reasons it is difficult to maintain it. What happens when you are entrusted with the deepest secrets of your friends who trust you not to leak out information about themselves or may ask you to lead the others on a false trail. Can you imagine how hard that would be? Or keeping information from someone simply because if he/she gets to know about it, it would harm him/her. In these cases wouldn't it be so much easier to simply tell the truth and throw the burden away from our shoulder.
I mean when you lie you constantly have to remember what you said, also one has to keep looking over one's shoulder in case one needs to speak the truth as a relief. quite reminds me of a guy who wants to pee badly and looks around a selected deserted place just in case there aren't people watching cos though he knows there is no toilet around and he doesn't have a choice for he needs that release, he isn't doing the right thing.
Ooo the constant headache!! It’s far better to face the immediate consequences than delay it for some other time while spoiling your sleep.
So kudos to all those who lie and can keep up a lie, it's tough work really, I won’t say I don't tell white lies one time too many but then if things stretch I simply come out with the truth, sorry boss too lazy to think of creative lies really, plus I definitely need that sweet sleep by the end of the night, don’t u??

You are absolutely right. There is a Russian saying - A Clear Conscience is the Softest Pillow.
great post. but,
It takes a genius to tell a lie,and make it go farthest.
one drawback, when he tells the truth he is not beleived.
Absolutely tru.. you have to keep remembering what lies you had told... And that usually backfires when you cant remeber what you said!!!
Ask me no questions and I will not tell you any lies!! I feel that wud be the best policy if you had been entrusted with friends' secrets..
