“We talk about the whole concept of lying. Why people lie. Usually, we conclude, it’s just to cover up their own behavior – to not get caught doing something they shouldn’t. But sometimes people might lie because the truth may hurt the other person. And sometimes they lie because (they think) the other person can’t deal with the truth.” — Brownell Landrum

We talk about the whole concept of lying. Why people lie. Usually, we conclude, it’s just to cover up their own behavior – to not get caught doing something they shouldn’t. But sometimes people might lie because the truth may hurt the other person. And sometimes they lie because (they think) the other person can’t deal with the truth.
