Why People Lie?
                All people know that lying is wrong, but they still lying. In fact, people sometimes lie because they have reason, and sometime they lie without reason, but it still lying. Actually, most of time people lie to avoid the trouble, and in that case, lying is a wise move for example lying to resolve dispute, or lying to create happiness or make life easier, but sometimes people lie for to make something interesting for example seller sometimes lie to distract his wares. People can use lie for different reason, and only they are who can make it good or bad.
                There are many cases make people lying. For example, people lie in front of strangers, or student lie in school. “One study, published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Psychology, found that 60 percent of people had lied at least once during a 10 conversation between two strangers. On average, the subjects laid almost 3 times in a 10-minute conversation Another study of 2000 Britons claims men tell six lies a day with women averaging 3 lies a day. The same research found the most common lie (told by both sexes) being "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine". A similar study found similar conclusions. In the United States, one study had 77 college students and 70 community members keep a diary detailing their deceptions. The students admitted to lying an average of twice a day, while the community members lied about once per day” By Robert Feldman.

                It is okay to lie if lying is the only solution, but we must be aware that lying may makes us lose our honesty, and may causes problems for us.

  1. If saying "nothing's wrong, I'm fine" is a common lie told, it implies many people lie because they do not want to burden other people with their troubles. This seems to be common in western society. Is this a similar or different custom from Saudi culture?
