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?

We are all very familiar with the word LIE, as familiar as we know the word honest.
Every human being must have lied. everyone, or at least almost everyone knows that lying is a bad thing. however, in order to avoid unpleasant situations, we often lie.

Humans are creatures that are destined to have many traits, the meaning of the word lying is very broad in scope. lying is the deliberate manipulation of information, behavior, and self-image with the aim of leading another person to an incorrect conclusion or belief.

every human being has their own emotional nature, emotional nature is a natural trait that exists in humans and cannot be compared. Human emotional nature can change at any time, because human nature is dynamic. the dynamics of emotional nature can be influenced and affect many aspects.
so the most appropriate answer to the OP's question, of course back to each individual.

I think no human is perfect and as such would have flaws. Lying is one of them. To say a human can do without lying is a bit of a stretch. It's like a necessary evil..

You lie to either get away from a situation or incriminate someone. But I doubt humans can do without it

There are different perspectives how people think about lying ,some people think it as harmless,some think it as good for someone but honestly lying is not a good habit whatever the intention is. If you think someone can get hurt because of your truth it's better to remain silent instead to telling lies and raise someone's hopes.

Man was born and conceived in sin,It is human nature to sin,it's only God that that cannot lie,I'm not trying to justify the fact that lieing is not bad,it's quite bad but most activities today are done using lies,that is to say that one lies to get what they want. People tend to love lies than truth in today's society,that is why most people prefer lieing than saying the truth.

People lie to get what they want, most people wouldn't want to say the truth and remain in pain. Like they always say that the truth is bitter and lies sounds sweet to tell that is why most people prefer to say lie to remain their comfort zone.

sometimes many people lie for the safety and interests of themselves or others, but if humans are given a book between the two choices of lying and doing good, many people will lie. but we return to ourselves again what he did was good or bad, because humans have been given a smarter mind to choose

Lies are human nature that is always there. If you continue to lie, it will be something that is detrimental to others, as well as to yourself.

Sometimes there are many people who lie because they have to. If we want to stop lying, the only way is to always be honest in every situation.

Regarding honesty, actually some people are not honest with themselves. For example when he had an accident, and it made him not okay. Then someone asked how he was 'are you okay?' surely we will answer 'I'm fine' that's also in my opinion, including lying anyway.

But I don't know, that's just my opinion.

Initially,lying was not supposed to be part of human nature,but the world is corrupt,and no man seems to be truthful anymore,so it looks as if everyone is following the trend.One bad thing about lying is that once you lie,you always feel uncomfortable,that is to me oh,I don't know for other person's,but my conscience always have a way of flogging me if I lie.

I don't think lying is not supposed to be part of human nature, lying is a nature of man. In the normal life just the way we have bad and good, the same way we have truth and lie. These characteristics is a nature in man lifes .

Home training can also be why people develop lying as an habit, a child who is coming up and have habit of lying. If the parents keeps rebuking that child from such habit from small the child will quickly drop the habit. But where no parental control to stop the child from lying, the child will see lying as a life style that is not bad.

People tell lies for different reasons, either to seal a business deal or to gain fame in the environment they found themselves, Most times people lie because the society has been polluted with all kinds of evil so nobody is going to listen to what you say unless you say things you know that will please them which are lies. I only lie when I don't want people to understand what am doing or where my next line of action will go.

^^^ has to do with the fact that nobody knows the truth - except, maybe, a tiny bit here and there. But everybody wants to be esteemed... told that he is good by other people. So, he exerts the little bit of truth he thinks he knows, just so he won't feel so insignificant.

Perhaps that is why I post in the forum. But even if I don't have the complete truth, back off and look at what I say from a distance, and see how it fits with whatever is going on in the world and life.

No man can say since he came to this world he never lied before. Lie is part of the nature of man,sometimes we lie to protect ourselves to people who can be toxic by not giving them information of our real self, sometimes lie can just be the only option to save your life at the moment. When lie comes be what can hinder a brother or sister in one way or the other, lying against someone else this is when lies becomes evil. Lying to benefit from someone is evil

Of course, humans can avoid telling lies because nobody was born with that nature, it is a habit that one cultivates to live so stopping it only requires the person(Lier to say things that he or she is aware of or better still keep callm. Also, the society we live in today accepts lies more than the truth so for you to convince them you tend to say lies so long as it will help you to get what you want not minding the fact you're doing the wrong thing.

The truth is, humans will always lie and let's accept that fact. Every individual in this forum at some point in time must have told a lie. The difference could be what prompted it and for what purpose the lies is meant to archive. You might lie to save or cause trouble and some other times to keep your ego. Non of that is acceptable as they all hide what is actual and ought to be accepted no matter how bitter it might have seemed.

Let's be clear on something, even choosing not to tell the truth and by that I mean, avoiding to tell the truth could typically be classified as lying. You know the fact but have chosen to keep it in the shadows. Its often best you let the receiver deal with it.

There are two types of lying , maybe bad or good. Sometime White lies can help us to hide the real thing to avoid any conflict or Argument. An the other one can cause a war or conflict. Lying it's connected in our life we can not deny it.

Lying is against every moral belief but then, it kind of has become essential in most people's lives. Humans can't help but tell a lie or two and will go as far as calling it a "necessity".
I don't think the human beings can live without the art of lying now as it has sunk into our minds that it's one of the means of survival.

Lying is against all moral believe, yes is accepted because no tribe that likes lies or benefits from lying, to lie bring some hindrance to certain opportunities, right now i believe that nobody for this Earth who likes lies and who believe with likes. I does not tell lies because it can deprived some thing if the person I'm dealing with notice, so we need Skip that from our memory knowing likes can bring down our reputation.

Lying is against the accepted norms and value of the society, therefore it cannot be part of human nature. Just as a child is born blank without knowledge of anything until the family and society begins to inculcate certain behavior that is how humans learn how to lie. Although sometimes we are forced to lie because of certain conditions such as lying to avoid sanctions or get certain favour, but it does not in anyway entail that it is part of human nature. Believing that it is part of human nature would give us the boldness or excuse to keep lying. The question you would asked yourself is how do you feel when someone lie to you? Do you just say, it's part of human nature or you start distrusting that person. Lie leads to so many ills in the society, hence it should be abhorred totally.

Telling lies did not start today. It has been there right from man's creation in Eden according to Bible narration. We saw how Jacob deceived and lied to his father Isaac to get Esau's blessings. His grandfather Abraham also did it to save his life before Abimelech. Today most people lie like it means nothing anymore. Husbands lying to wives and wives doing same. Even children. The painful one is clergy doing same in order to entice their congregation so they can relax and feel excited to bring out money.
