If you tell the truth you never have to worry about what you told to whom & when... you never get caught in a compromising position... and above all, you never lose your integrity...

Very True! I always figured lying was harder. And I've seen the damage it causes. I tried to do it a bit as a kid, and could never pull it off without busting out giggling Knowing what I was trying to say was crap lol. OTOH I could sell a box of cookies to PPL I didn't know on the street with any tall tale behind it, just to get the sale.

On a personal level I never lie...about anything. But selling a box of cookies to a stranger, it isn't like I have to remember what I said to sell the cookies, and probably wouldn't be able to since it probably wasn't the Truth.

I guess I've got half the battle won in a sense, since I don't lie on a personal level? But it's the lies of someone close to me that hurts me now....not my own.
