Is lying now part of our nature? You say the word "now" as if its a trait humans just picked up and decided to try out. Lying has been there. Allow me use the word 'inherent'.
A simple question for you, op. If you asked to tell a fib to save a loved one from being hurt, would you or would you not?
The thing is, as humans we do not want to make lying a habit but we can't help these things. Lolz, I'm not defending the action but even in biblical times, Abraham had to lie to save his wife Sarah from being taken.

you can, as long as you really mean it. I honestly think it's very important. but, if lying for the sake of the truth, I don't think it would be a problem.
for example, someone who is about to be killed. and the person to be killed is hiding somewhere without the killer knowing. we know where it's hiding. but maybe, when asked by the killer, do we see the person to be killed or not? we have to lie and say we don't know.

For me I lying is part of human nature and most we don't actually know we are lying
The funny part is we actually tell our self's lie ,that is OK for me to just say it won't hurt anyone

Can we as humans ever stop telling lies?
People can never stop lying because they will always wanted to satisfy their selfish desires at any cost, lies has been what is now common to an extent that people have assumed lying as a lifestyle or a means to display their interest towards achieving a particular thing and they no longer see lies as something bar anymore but a smart way against another, also this digital world of technology has also help the increase in the rate people lie because no one can verify them from what they do or say using the internet or phones.
I guess...yes, lying is part of human nature, as always. Whatever the topics are, we have to remember that humans are prime animals as well. How to survive has never been wiped from our genes. Lying in most time is bad, because we don't necessarily have to lie to protect us. And sometimes, we lie just because we have to tell some white lies in order to let others feel better or avoid harms. Lying is not necessarily bad and taking it as part of human nature is acceptable.
People tell alie nowadays like that is their truth like they are literally that much into lies, no resentment, no regret just justifying their lies. Thinking their lies as harmless and for someone's benefit but keep one thing in mind lies are never harmless, one lie leads to another lie and so on .
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.

I believe that any lie that was told to save anyone's life is more significant and valuable than the truth, which can lead to putting a person's life in danger. However, it's undoubtedly not a good practice to lie and make it your permanent habit.
Is now in every human nature to lie easily without feeling guilty just to cover up tracks. Everyone now thinks that lying is a normal way of life and sincerity doesn't pay if you choose to be.
I wonder what cultivates this kind of culture of lying in us cos we do know that lies can destroy trust and friends between friends but we choose it over truth without minding the repercussions

Lying has been there in human origin, even from the garden of Eden, which the holy bible stated and as a result lying wouldn't be easy to comb.
Lying to o me can be classified into two:
Necessary lying: this very aspect of lying has to do with saving a situation at cost of lying and I've always tolerated this very one especially in relationships. And this kind of lies are mostly told when things are not deliberately done just to safe the situation and calm the atmosphere
Unnecessary lying: this very one is just a perpetual form of lying jus for the sake of not telling a truth or wanting someone get involved in something.
And this type of lie is done consciously and without remorse. I frown so much at this very type of lies at all time .
N/B. I'm not saying lying is good but I feel most times it is necessary to lie as human nature is highly unpredictable.
Yes I agree with your point sometime people tell lies to save a situation or to keep someone's heart and save them from getting hurt ,that type is harmless and causes no one any danger . But some people are fond of or in habit of telling unnecessary lies and that also can cause damage to someone .
But whatsoever the reason is telling lies should not be part of your nature and routine, if it's needed to tell lies it's better to remain silent.

There is no 'Now a part of" about it. Lying has ALWAYS been part of the Human Psyche.
Certainly not an admirable one and certainly something to be discouraged but nonetheless it has always been there and no doubt always will be.

It's often found in the behavior of small children. They quickly learn to lie, even when their parents aren't lying to them.
-Who ate the chocolate?
-I don't know, mom?
-Did you?
-No!
-Tell the truth!
This is a conversation we come across in every single household at some point.
But it gets interesting. My mother had a stroke and it damaged her brain to the point that she reverted back to her early instincts. She would deny taking or eating something, even if she was holding it in her hand at that moment. She would also become extremely possessive and gluttonous, like a child.
I feel like these instincts are buried deep in our brains but in time we learn to suppress them.
It started as a small lie, and ended up being a big lie. When we lie once, we will lie again, and it will become an endless lie.
I think humans are not free from lies. Even an honest person may have lied once in his life. Some people lie for good, and there are people who lie for evil.
Despite all that, we humans are not perfect creatures. It's just that we as humans, we must always do good to humans and stay away from things that are immoral.

Of course lying is a big part of human nature. Consider the big lie that these guys are unraveling - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61172061.
People keep one telling lies in order to achieve what they want which is wrong perspective because i don't think that lie's can embrace anything in the life of someone that lies, but one thing is that in this period of time many people do lie to achieve their goals which is not necessary, so that is what i understand, in some of the statement people do make against some people and tarnish the image of other people people.

people not to lie is it possible?Can we as humans ever stop telling lies?
Of course you can, because lying is a bad human trait.
if you continue to lie, there will be many things that will harm yourself,
• will not be trusted by others, that's for sure
• difficult to make friends, people who lie like to be shunned
• although honest, sometimes other people do not believe.
Be honest people, because honest people will always get a good place.
I always thought you’re better off telling the truth because wasting your mental energy on trying to remember lies isn’t a good use of your time. Plus if you get caught in a lie it’s awkward. I’ve found people appreciate the truth and hearing bad news can actually increase your trust for the person telling you.
I am shocked at the amount of lying done by officials lately. Covid for example was such a widespread lie to get people to take an ineffective vaccine. Now the White House is lying about us being in a recession. I’m honestly surprised by the blatant lies. I guess if people were smarter then lies wouldn’t be so effective and maybe wouldn’t be such an important role in liberal politics.

Lying is part of human nature, I have no doubt about it.
According to my observation, socially-savvy people are especially good with "white lies" to grease social interactions.

Lying has always been part of human nature... since Adam and Eve fell into sin, and passed this sinning ability on to their offspring.
Lying came from the devil, who talked Adam and Eve into eating the fruit, and caused death to come into the world.
