Lying is a deceitful hideaway from reality.
It is a vice and a weakness.

Well, if truthfullness is a virtue, and virtue is something you should strive for, then lying is the exact opposite, a sin if you may, and something you should try to avoid. At least that's my opinion.

Lying is a strategy to bypass the hurdles invariably presented in the journey of truth. Lying is the wisdom of sparing the sharp pain of truth.
In all, lying is the art of living a life made difficult by the science of truthfulness.

What is lying? It's called politics.
Vote for my answer as best. If elected, I promise to use my ten points to fund universal health care for all, tax breaks for the middle class, and a really expensive highway project for your congressional district.

If you are a lawyer, then lying is a virtue. For the rest of us, it is simply a characteristic.

truthfullness = virtue

Inevitable?
At some point in one's life... at least about little things, like to spare someone's feelings.
