Do YOU tell white lies?

I really don’t need to ask, or do a study about if people tell lies because the majority of people do (as I have experienced it first hand). My guess would be upwards of 97% of the populus lies on a regular basis.

Why do I believe people lie?

I don’t believe people lie to be malicious. Most of the time, they lie to be socially accepted. They fear if they tell the truth, they won’t be accepted for who they are. I think that is the biggest reason people lie.

Do you agree?

Do you think that is okay?

Do you tell white lies (wink!)?
