Because lying will come back to haunt you and ruin your reputation in the process. People won't trust you and won't want to do business with you. You may have no remorse about lying and feel no sense of guilt or shame, but, from a pragmatic standpoint, liars have few if any friends because people who do have social standards won't want to associate with a liar. It will affect your job if you are known as a liar and will ultimately affect your promotability. Who but a fool would place a liar in a position of trust and responsibility? So, even if you have no social conscience about lying, you will at least feel the financial and social effects of being branded a liar. A person with the reputation of being truthful and honorable will find that he or she can literally bank on that reputation.

Of course.. would u ever want anyone to lie to you? you will feel cheated... thats the same way evryone would feel... and being honest saves you trouble.. maybe lying might save u for now.. but not forever... the truth will be revealed one day.. and that day, u will surely regret for lying... because.. to gain one's trust is not so easy... but to lose it, it's just a matter of seconds.. once a person have lost trust on a person, it's very hard to be like normal again... maybe they might treat u like before.. but the scars u hav left will nvr be healed... and one lie requires more lies to cover it up.. putting you into a more difficult situation.. so why lie?? honesty is the BEST policy!

Well, because if you're discovered, it is hard for others to trust you as much as they did- again. But of course, sometimes white lies can help others from being hurt or feeling bad, but when you say lie-upon-lie, you feel queasy at night before sleeping, and uncomfortable and squirmy, because at that point of time, even if you own up, you are sure to loose some of the best assets a person could have- relationship (friendship, dating, etc...) Be frank, be comfortable with yourself. that's why honesty is the best policy. also i'm going to have to agree with mbrcatz

Because it is easier to remember the truth, than remembering a lie

Lies end up coming back to you in the end, plus when you tell the truth it relieves stress.

Because it's too hard to remember all the lies. And it's easier when people trust you - and if you aren't honest, people won't trust you.

Because it's easy to look at yourself the following morning.

It just is. If you tell the truth there are no lies to remember.
