Question:

Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?

Isn't that true though ? :S


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Because the truth is often hard to remember and also very complicated. Very shortly after we create a memory, the details fade, and you will only remember the important stuff, then you make things up to fill the gaps. In one study, researchers found that not one conversation btw 2 people contained only honest communication. Often when we decieve people it is spontanoius, unplanned and guilt free. This is due to what is called the Spinozan hypothesis: when we get new information we automatically register it as true, most of us recognize this pattern in others, and take advantage of it.
