When it comes to lying I have probably done it too many times to count. Whether it be for avoiding punishment or personal gain I have done it. I can't imagine that there is one person on this planet that has not lied at least once in their lives.
Most of us want to impress our friends or superiors, so we might "stretch the truth" in order to look better. Yes, it is probably immoral and not right to do, but would you want to tell a potential employer about past events that might not look too good on a resume. So you either just dont mention it or simply lie about it.
Many other people may lie in order to avoid punishment. I mean, if you say you did your homework when you actually didn't do it and you try to finish it right when class starts, it's not like it affects anyone, that is if you get away with it. Now getting caught lying, that'sa whole different story that I don't want to get into.
The bottom line, even though we know lying is bad, we still do it anyway. That makes so much sence now does it?
