I tell people that I am too lazy to lie most of the time. It is not that I cannot do it or I have not, but the pay-off I have grown to consider, more and more, not worth it. Lies take a lot of oeffort. You have to make them, make them well, tell them convincingly, and most importantly: keep them all straight. Who you told which one to, who knows the truth. What you'd say if one of the first group ran into one of the second. For however long the lie and the fact it hides are relevant, and usually if you are bothering to lie in the first place that is going to be a very long time. Naaaah. I love stories and telling them, but I try to keep it clear when something's fiction.those who prefer having nothing to hide rather than being obliged to lie,
