Is a lie really easier than the truth?

Asked by DWW25921 (6498points) September 15th, 2013

Why does it seem that lying is socially acceptable? Is it usually confined to self preservation or do you think there are more casual motives? I mean, I’ve lied to protect people from situations or news I didn’t think they could handle… Is that “better” than lying to someone to cheat them? On the other hand, is it really wise to be honest all the time about everything?

Here’s the article that inspired this question…
