Om Swami
Why do I lie, and what are the real reasons behind it?
We lie to hide or to impress
A person lies when there is something to hide, or when there is a wish to impress someone. Either something real is being hidden, or something that does not exist is being shown.
When does a person lie? When you either have something to hide or want to impress someone: either something is being hidden, or something that does not exist is being shown.
