The Lying Game

I believe that it is never ok to lie. Lying is way harder than telling the truth, because once a person has lied, that lie will continue to come up and then someone has to lie again to make sure that they they do not get caught in the previous lie. Even in extreme and difficult situations when it is hard to tell the truth, I believe that the truth should always be told. Eventually, that lie will get brought up again and if one cannot keep up with their lies, they will get caught. However, if one just tells the truth from the beginning, they will not have to continue thinking of more and more to lie about and it will be over. There are some pros and there are definitely some cons about this situation, but I think there are more cons than pros. People seem to think that lying will get them out of the situation, which it might in the beginning, but, it can also drag them right back into the same position as before. It hurts more to be lied to even if the truth may hurt.
