Watched "Brain Games" last night and one topic was lying. It stated infants as young as 6 months lie by acting hungry when all we really want is attention. This got me thinking that some form of lying is just as normal as breathing. Of course we all differ in degree but we all lie and really we probably lie until we die even if they are little white lies. I don't mind lying to a telemarketer or to my doctor when he asks me how often I exercise. They also pointed out some animals lie for example hiding food in one location and putting food in another location top "fool" a predator. So grasp these question, regardless of how man came to be on this planet why is lying a part of life. Where did it come from? We love and hate and we lie. Did God install that in us or did evolution attach it to us (do fish lie?)?
