Is lying a necessity?

Question:

Is lying a necessity?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Of course it is. Even people who claim to want absolute honesty do not want to be told all the unpleasant truths about themselves. Without little and big lies to smooth the way, our social and business interactions would collapse.

If you don't believe it, try to go a week without telling a single lie. It can't be done if you want to maintain your relationships.

And yes, you do look fat in those pants!
