I hate lieing. Hate it. I'll admit I have my share of little white lies, which I kick myself for in the end but they are always for little things and for the most part they are to make things less complicated, and unless they are reallly just insignificant i'll come out with. That being said I do my damndest never to lie, because I hate it and its one of the most hurtful things I can do and people can do to me. And not in a good way -wryly-

that being said, in the end the reason alot of people probably lie, or at least one of them, is to make things less complicated. They dont want to created a web of intricacies that they have to keep in their mind constantly. Alot of times people want to see the internet is an escape, which is fine, but alot of times this feeling can turn into an accute case of "assholism", because of the fact they want to escape from things they lie to make things less complicated, use people, and often times get angry if someone starts getting close to the fact they are lieing -shrugs-.

It can also develope into drama llama syndrome. But thats another story.
