Not that i am a very saintly human being but i do stick to honesty most of the times unless of course "lying" can change things drastically;for the good...
I've always wondered whether to tell the truth in certain situations is apt or not..What pro's and cons do you need to balance at that moment?For instance you have hurt a friend and u know its completely your mistake but you lie to him/her fearing that the truth might hurt him..!! But what if the friend is not that foolish to overlook your fault..in that circumstance won't the "lie" hurt him/her more?
It happened to me yesterday so i just wanted to know people's opinion on it..
WHAT MAKES US LIE???
The fear that you might get caught or the fear that someone might get hurt or both?or something else.. I am sure every lie we said had a different motive at that time but the basics get narrowed down to the above two questions...
By the way i was on the reciever end of the "lie" this time...

I guess you have narrowed down the two reasons well... One more thing that could be is that the pain of explaining the truth sometimes could be a motivator for lying.
