reference from wikipedia :

~.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie ....~

why do people telling lie? are they have no alternative but to do? or just with an intention to lie at other.. my brother even tell me that people lie just for fun.. =.= *nonsence*

the reason of people telling lies is to acquire resources, initiate and continue interaction, to avoid conflict, to avoid interaction or take leave, to present a competent image, as well as increases social desirability. nevertheless, protect resources is also another reason of telling lie.. that why my little brother always do it just to avoid punishment from mama.. aha!
