Pants on Fire

I got into a conversation with a friend today, about confronting someone with a question. We concluded that the person can just be honest and tell the truth, or they could lie. You also don't know if their truth is the real truth or their lie is the lie you think it is.

I cant lie, I rarely attempt it because I'm so terrible at it. I don't know why its just cause i guess I figure people already know the truth. Usually when someone asks you something that is worth lying about its because they already think its true.

Sometimes though, people lie and alot of the time people get away with it. We all die in the end anyway (grim thought, I know) but why not tell a few lies to keep things running smoothly? My friend mentioned that life's too short anyway. Which if you think about it... How much and for how long can we get away with something?

Life kinda rolls through in sections, when your older a lie you told now probably will not matter. Of course... these aren't seriously lies, im talking white lies.
Im not promoting lying, im saying that when someone lies they should question first how long this is gonna be in effect.

There is probably nothing more stressful then keeping something to yourself. I say honesty is the best policy.
