"Yet, very normal people lie the heads off every single day of their lives, their lives actually depend on lying"
I don't know if you're married onetocome (and if not, is it any wonder?!), but for the sake of argument, let's say you are. One day your wife (showing off a new outfit) asks you:
'Does my bum look big in this?'
On the basis of what you just said, are you going to be completely honest and say 'Yes'? If you hate lying SO much, you have no choice but to be totally honest, so you'd answer thusly. Bottom line (no pun intended!), she'll run off crying. Next time she asks you that, and you're completely honest again, expect a slap in the face,, sleeping in the spare bedroom, and no nooky for the foreseeable future. If she asks you again, and you answer the ONLY way you can (because lies are SO abhorrent to you!), expect packed bags & leaving for her mother's. Then divorce proceedings.
Third time's the charm.
Fact is pal, lies make the world go round. Without such, you'd have no peace in the world. Diplomacy has prevented potential conflicts - just ask the British ambassadors throughout the world. Without lies, our world would probably been destroyed in a nuclear conflagration before now.
