We all knew when you walked your spider that you were really good at stretching the truth.
The worst part of lies is that sometimes you end up telling another lie & then you can't remember who you told what to.....& they trap you & make you look bad.......
The real problem also comes when you start to believe your own lies. I lived with someone who would lie by not saying anything when asked....he thought if you didn't say anything then you weren't lying...but when someone acts on the assumptions that end up being made when someone doesn't say something.....then it does become a lie. He was also good at not wanting to bother looking up the information he was asked about so he would just say anything he thought was true & he believed it then when reality hit him in the face....he couldn't handle it.
It's better to be honest, truthful, & transparent......however storytelling & imagination definitely HAVE THEIR PLACE also.
