Why We Lie

Lying is a complex human behavior that often stems from a variety of motivations, including the desire to protect oneself or others, to avoid punishment, or to maintain social harmony. While some lies may seem harmless or even beneficial, they can also erode trust and create a web of deceit that complicates relationships. The age-old tale of Pinocchio, a marionette whose nose grows longer with each lie, illustrates the consequences of dishonesty and serves as a cautionary reminder that truth is foundational to genuine connections.
