Out of the many things that people consider bad, lying is perhaps the worst. It is the absence of truth, deliberately with-holding the truth from someone.Everyone has told a lie, even if it is only a small white lie, and every one has their reasons for telling lies. Some are good, and some are bad. Some do it to protect someone, others do it because they want to hurt someone. Would the world be a better place if everyone told the truth? Maybe, maybe not. But lying is something that most people consider bad, no matter what a persons reasons for lying or the consequences of lying. As Sir Walter Scott said; "O what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."
