Sometimes it is okay to lie because someone could get hurt if you tell them the truth or sometimes they don't like what you say. In life if there was no pain we wouldn't know how to be strong. Society and government controls and judges enough of the world we shouldn't let them control this to. We should be able to see what our ancestors were like and what they did and said. When your society doesn't know about something then it's almost as if you are a communist party because the people that trust you don't know about what's going on. The safe that others see is not what you see. The government could see something opposite of safe but call it safe. When you're in a group you are able to debate with people and share the same interest. You will

Yet lying is a large part of daily life, whether it be our lying to others or others lying to us, around us, or lying in ways that affect our lives. Oftentimes, the lies we tell are for social gain; for the purposes of esteem, affection, or respect. We lie as a way to manage others impressions of us. Studies have found that women are generally more intimate in their interactions, which would suggest that they lie less.

Stephanie Ericsson’s “The Ways We Lie”, analyzes the prominent role of lying in everyone’s lives.
