Who is it we're lying to when we do, Them or Ourselves? Who is stolen from I

Question: Who is it we're lying to when we do, Them or Ourselves!? Who is stolen from I ask!?

Why should we become only less then ourselves for ourselves or others, Isn't this but a contradiction!? Where is the real gain anyway denial, or the lack of confidence to be accepted!? Seems only like sabotage to me brought on by temptations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Each lie we tell robs us of our own self esteem, piece by piece!. I don't believe in the concept of a 'white lie' because that presupposes that you can predict the future and know what the other person is thinking and thats just a reflection of human arrogance!.

A lie can damage others too but it hurts the teller more!. The truth finds its way out into the open eventually and then the liar will have no recourse other than to just hide or apologize!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

this question is self contradictory offering the best opportunity to show the meaninglessness of language where words are put together but normally ina way that even the user is not aware of the implied meaningless meaning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
