Why the Truth Beats Lying

Do you remember the first lie you told? Probably not because it was most likely about something insignificant by comparison now. I’m sure when that lie escaped your lips you had no intention of hurting the person receiving the lie. Or maybe you did. We weren’t there. However at some point, we learned that lying was an option that may make the consequences lighter if not go away completely. Does that always provide the desired result? No but it’s fun to dream, right?
