How long can one not lie for? Can anyone today be like Gandhi by not lying and making a conscious attempt to utter the truth and truth alone, under any conditions? Often it seems we say a lot of white lies...im talking about eleminating even those. Complete and unquestioning adherence to the Truth. Gandhi said he found God in Truth.

It was many years ago. I found that problems cannot be solved by any form of lying. Even if it is the worst possible news, it must be told so that it can be dealt with even if they slay the messenger.

The last time I lied is at this very moment, because to say that I have not lies is to know every unconscious thought I have. We are a part of God, and to speak Gods truth, is to be returned to God.

I don't. Other people don't either. It's not unusual. Even today. I have found that that question, characteristically, is often asked by those who often lie, in bitterness of those who don't. Bad habits, like a stink, can be shed.

Just 30 minutes ago. I lied to myself thinking there's nothing bad in entering the Net a little bit, even if I've had some really important problems to solve. That's FOOLISH of me. Thanks for having asked this Q!

About an hour ago. As an atheist, I seek no god in truth, but rather, a lack of guilt.

Probably sometime today? I don't know. I usually tell one, white lie every day, sometimes less. I usually can't remember.
