Default re: honesty

but there are times that it is necessary to lie right?

what you don't know can't kill you...

i once watched this documentary/experiment that tested people's leadership skills - and one of the findings was that if a person knew how to lie with a straight face, most probably he/she would make a good leader... :o

but yeah I hate it when someone lies to me - but i always think of the possible reasons for it - maybe the person doesn't want to hurt you, or maybe the person can't tell you, etc... - and then if i know why and IF it makes sense then i wouldn't feel that bad...

wait... now thats a lie - i would probably still feel bad and still think of beating up the person but at least now i know why he/she did it
