TRUTH HURTS!!!
we eithier deny it or not, but lying is part of every human relationships. People lie for various reasons. This could be to make themselves look good or feel better. Others may lie to stop conflicts and so there are many aspects that lie under lies!!
However it can be damaging to relationships when a lie is exposed which undermines trust and it grows seed of doubt, as ONCE A LIAR ALWAYS A LIAR!!

Lying is a despicable vice in our socities today as decieving others with the use of words is seen as clever for e.g. the Goverment lies. Everyone does it to save their ass and to have a good image in society. Therefore todays lies have become part of our lives because the reality of today so far is that we have to live with it..it is like not being in control with the Goverment in power.. we are their slaves and they carry on doing wrong and lie blaitently
Wars, Invasion of countries are all based in lies it is like everyone wants to look pious but they carry the tag
"We” never lie, we just bend the truth a little, put a spin, having no intention to mislead, but the “others” are liars. "
"Gonna am them days where everyone spoke the truth, when a lie destroyed the liar's dignity and deprived him outta trust" - TAZ (2009)
In Islam lying is considered very dangerous as the Holy book of Islam, The Qur'an teaches
“And do not say that of which you have no knowledge.” (Quran 17:36)
Even in Christianity it is seen as WRONG
A lie is an abomination unto the Lord, and a very present help in trouble. (a combination of Proverbs 12:22 and Psalms 46:1)
The malice of lying is tied to hypocrisy as described by the Prophet Muhammad,
“If anyone has four characteristics, he is a pure hypocrite, and if anyone has one of them, he has an aspect of hypocrisy until he gives it up: whenever he is trusted, he betrays his trust; whenever he speaks, he lies; when he makes an agreement, he breaks it; and when he quarrels, he deviates from the truth by speaking falsely.”
The Prophet’s teaching is that we try our best to free ourselves of hypocrisy by keeping our trusts, telling the truth, keeping our promises, and not speaking falsely. Therfore we should be careful not to make false excuses like ‘I was too busy or I forgot,’ or say words that can be taken as promises by others like ‘I’ll call back tomorrow,’ with no such intention. At the same time, not lying should not be confused with impoliteness, ‘saying at it is,’ but we should be careful not to lie about little things when no one apparently gets hurt. This can be done by carefully choosing our words.
ITS BEST TO AVOID LYING AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE
ONE LIE LEADS TO ANOTHER LIE!!!!!
ONE LIE LEADS TO ANOTHER LIE!!!!!
