i found lying is a management  headache.  You know cause its easy to tell the truth, its always there and has a universal standard surpasing culture.  I can remember or at least say in confidence that a apple i droped fell to the ground. I don,t even remenber if i told anyone that it fall up, and if i did, i hope i don,t run into them cause if they asked me today, not rememnering who i lied to, i would say the apple will fall down when i let it go.  Now think the brainpower needed for a complex lie that has a long term agenda.  I usauly end up investing in the upkeep up the lie so much that cutting my losses is no longer desirable.  Even though i know  i have lost control of my lying and now its not getting what i want, but involed with a better liers want now. Now  i franticly devise a way to save face.  To much work and talent which is not my nature.  I am lazy, so i tell the truth.  But i still try to find easier ways to lie, but not heavily invest though thier is always a chance to get sucked in again.  Imagine trying to keepup a matric of lies with 12 humans examining you for a glitch to get to the truth.  good luck
