Lotsa different reasons. To look good. to get something from you. to stay out of trouble. To stop someone from controling them. You might not know it but people do not have to teach kids to lie. Most of them come by it with no help whatso ever. They learn it b4 they are able to understand most examples of it around them. Most people lie b4 they are three years old. I guess it is therefor natural. That does not make it a good idea, cuz there are lotsa bad consequences but it's like lotsa nature stuff it is taking what appears to be the path of least resistance at the time. Only people withe far out there eyes do not lie, the ones that see nearly forever. These are called prophets and most of them get killed at a young age. Have been for as long as written history has been kept. If you've been alive more than thirty years it's a pretty good bet you are a lier , lucky or too stupid to be a threat.

It really is a matter of courage & maturity.

Courage: A person tries to create a false image inorder to get you into thinking as he/she wants. Because the truth if seen, can can work against him/ his ideas. The fear of this "work against him/ his ideas" makes him/her fabricate details.

Maturity: A person can also lie for another's sake.
I came across a case where an old lady asked about her FRIEND to 1 of my contacts. The FRIEND being the mother of this person.
His mother had passed away a couple of months back & this lady was not aware of this.
This contact of mine replied that she was perfectly fine.
I was amazed at this & asked the guy later about it.
His reasoning was that the old lady should not be made to feel more lonely than she already is.

A lie to help another is although a lie, but how far is it ethically wrong??

Hope I was able to throw some light.

If someone is liyng it should have a geniune reason behind it....
for the person would have though if u know this issue or matter u may get hurt /tensed etc.... but if someone is lying in a very deep relationship then there is somthing going on behind the screen....
sometimes there are people who has the habit of lying to all ....
beware of those people...

Different people, different reasons, different situations. Some times u lie to get out of a bad situation, sometimes to cover up a bad act, sometimes just for the heck of it, & sometimes for the kick u get out of it.

people lies to ease things.....and get out of a difficult or embarassing situation...People who tell lies are often judged as being dishonest or hypocritical.....however truth often fails...where it tend to aggravate situations....u cant always tell the truth... i mean if someone is ugly ...u cant just tell him or her in her face....here truth can only create continuous suffering
But this doesnt mean that someone has to tell a lie everytime he finds that truth create troubles....im for the truth...but u see and u know how lies ca help
