Telling a fib today is considered harmless and most people seem to lie so quickly and are very good at it too. We all know lying isn't good anyway it's being looked at but we all indulge in it and very frequently too. And today, it is considered harmless and a little white lie; almost innocent lol.
Can we as humans ever stop telling lies?

There have been actual scientific studies on this matter actually, scientist seem to be specially interested at what age children start to develop the concept of lying to their parents. That being said, I think lying is part of human nature, there have been lies as long as there have been people on the face of earth, no doubt about it.

I think it would be unrealistic to even imagine a modern society in which each one of the it's citizens avoids telling lies to others, it would be a characteristic of an utopia and we all know such thing cannot be reached as we all are imperfect.
Still, the important thing to remember about lies and their role in society is to be aware on whether is really necessary for us to even lie in order to avoid consequences which are not going to be a big deal anyways, otherwise, one could become a pathological liar and from there it only comes a downhill path towards the loss of all credibility and honor.

Lying is not part of human nature, it is the people that choses such as a means of achieving their selfish desires, they will think about lying in other to forcefully acquire what they desire, things are not to go in such an inappropriate manner, if everyone should engage lying then we can have no more reason to trust each other, all these are what makes disunity occur in the society if we are not careful, we must be sincere and truthful in everything we do.

Yes I concur mostly the area of trust, it's never acceptable in any society that lying should be the order of the day but when liers Scot free without sanction it become a way if life as many think it's the easiest means of gotten what they want, but that destroy trust just as dunamisx has stated when trust is dies off it's hard for society to work efficiently.
There is no reason lying should be welcome in a society it destroy faster than anything, some people gave reason and reference of those who lies as they are not the first but it makes the lier lust trust from friend and people around such personality, though it's very common in our environment today but shouldn't be welcome as way of life or norms.

Adam and Eve ate the fruit. It was fruit from the devil's tree. Satan is a liar and the father of lies. Lying is part of human nature since that time.

People today lie because convenience may be a little more important than morality to them. Because policy and convenience cannot coexist. I think this is one of the reasons for lying. But there are many other reasons why people lie. In some situations they often lie because they don't want to disappoint someone. But be that as it may, we should refrain from lying even if it is to maintain our social environment and morals.

I don't think all humans can stop telling lies in the society, because they are part of some of the things they are using to survive in their living, and the reason why I said it, is because as a business man I am, there is no way you can tell your customers the truth about the price of your products.

There are some people telling lies because they are forced to do that because they are under their Boss, which their Boss will tell them to lie for them to achieve their goal which the employee must lie to help his or her Boss to achieve their goal from the business.

I guess there are few people in the society who are not telling lies no matter where they find themselves, and they are ready to lose any positions in the society to remain truthful which I have seen such people around my society.

If everyone in the world didn't lie, the world would be different. Self interest is at the root of everything so you have to lie to survive in today's society. The biggest extreme truth of today's society is that you accept lies, you have no objection. In front of my eyes, political leaders are lying, making false promises, but still I can't do anything except to look on with my eyes. Lying is prohibited in any religion or society, then people tell lies more, people just want to get power whose biggest tool is lies. A tendency has developed among people in the present age that you give more indulgence to falsehood than shelter.

Humans? Stop telling lies? There is no human behavior that will stop, it doesn’t matter how negative or positive it is. Indeed, it is unfortunate that telling a lie is now very common that it’s almost seen as a part of life, but I still believe that it’s personal. Depending on who you are and what you believe in, you can choose to be different and your words would always be the truth. I like to tell people that it’s best to not talk at all than to tell a lie. As an adult no one would force words out of your mouth.

Also, when you lie, you dent your reputation. If you pay attention, when you figure that someone lied to you, you get disappointed in their action and stop trusting what they say because you’ve known them to be liars.

I don't why you bothered bring this topic up in any way, lying has been a part of the history of man and its has been so ever since, why would you even bother thinking anyone would stop lying, some people have lied to save their skind and avoid punishment, the truth ls lie is a blanket that people use to shield themselves from the truth and its consequences, so most people lie because the truth is bitter and others lie because they can't face the consequences of the truth, do its a pick, no is too strong to take the easy route.

Lies are told more or less by everyone. But it becomes the nature of some people. That is, then people start telling lies for no reason. Everyone should be aware and restrain themselves from even small lies. One should refrain from making false promises. Although now the age is full of deception and lies. Still, you should try to be honest with yourself.

Lying is the most hated act in society today, yet people focus on this noble act. When a person speaks the truth, many excuses are made by making the truth a lie. We are often the victims of this lie that is being tolerated in the world today. People are now getting attracted to lies day by day instead of starting the path of truth. And people are getting involved in various criminal activities with most false witness in exchange for money. They have made lying a leading habit in their life due to which people are now afraid to tell the truth. And in this era, if people reveal the truth, instead of prioritizing it, they indulge in lies and this is how people's humanity is changing.

I don't think lying is the most hated act in the society, I said so because we have other acts that many don't take likely. Let's use stealing for instance, is one of the craziest act I have ever seen, that's to me so when you put lying first I don't think it has the amount of anger it brings out of people compare to stealing. Lying can't be eliminated from we humans because it has been there before the beginning of this world and is something our government uses to gain more than they give to the citizens which is more offensive, lying and the stealing I said earlier goes hand in hand in terms of political activities.

Dude if u ask me I will say lying dwells in every human naturally, everyone is involved.

The government sugar coat us with lies during election campaigns to gain our votes during election,
Religious heads tell lies too to gain more believers and worshippers,
Parents tell one lie or the other to either instill fear or believe in their children,
While children also indulge in petty lies just to avert punishment from parents.

Which ever way a lie is been told in our day to day activities we must know that it is with an absolute aim which is always cheating and deceit.

Lying an the like are part of human nature plus part of any other living species. It is evolution, as giving false or misleafing information can give some benefit so it can be a staple of human behaviour as it can be for many other species. Competition requires to use any available benefit or abvantage to create that extra bit that allows victory. Unfortunately, the moral aspects are irrelevant when this happens.

Unknowingly to humans we lie, because is something that is used by parents to raise their children that is doing wrong, so when that child grows up and find out that thing his or her parent told them actually save them from derailing, they will see reasons to want to do it in some situation to help them, so subconsciously they do it without knowing.

It's true that lying has become pretty common these days, and it can sometimes seem harmless. But deep down, we all know it's not the best thing to do. Maybe it's time we try to be more honest with each other and ourselves. Let's break the cycle together! 😊

Lying is something you can't control, no one can fully understand what's on your mind, no matter what the purpose of lying, most people will lie, but a lie needs many lies to cover it up.

how old is time to be against this statement because I know quite well that to lie is controllable it is something that you can control and also maintain so lying is human nature shower but the good thing is that there is an extent that he will pay on through to people then they will know that it's a way for you to deceive them or take anything that belong to them so lying is not good in any form

Lying is natural but we should'nt make it part of us I know how it could be sometimes, it's tempting but it could be curtailed, it is very important to note that human beings have this in them but I believe we have control over ourselves, lying is not done intentionally most times there is situation you will find yourself you might not have any option than to do it in other to cover up, but today people has taken it as a habit thats repeatedly done and most people are even proud of it, lying causes distrust, just imagine when you lie to a friend or even your partner and he or she finds out that you lied do you expect such person to trust you again the answer is no, so iin this case we should desist from making it a habit because it can damage your reputation by making you worthless in the eye of your friends and close associate.

Can we as humans ever stop telling lies?

The answer is no, as long as the human can still speak. Lies have been a part of our daily lives, which is not good; we usually lie when we are scared, hurt, or have a selfish desire to bring down others. The only problem with telling lies is that the people who tell them don't get intimidated or have second thoughts about saying them afterward. As for myself, I tell lies, but later on, I will tell the truth since I can take it. The current generation is much worse; they lie for their own good and will even lie to their parents.

very right - 8/10 people are most liar. PEople lie all the time to save their face even on for the petty things - and this has made the world a terrible place.

Lying is part of human nature and there were some persons that can never stop to lie. This is a trend that had crash so many relationship and make people to lose those things that are more value to them. We need to stop the art of lying so that we can as well make things and children xxoming up to stop lying. too.

I know that lying is a part of woman life but what I want you to understand that we will take it as auto why it has not been a culture so we need to be having the mama have also LED her to be telling to me you cannot because of someone give false information and you decide to be giving a false information every time so that is very bad and I can't impress that my own as a woman living
