[QUOTE="Diamond Cross, post: 5233621, member: 51024"] What lie? Everybody lies. There are soft lies and there are hard lies, but everybody lies. There is no such thing as a completely honest person. Lying is normal. A woman giving a man a white lie to not let him down on why she doesn't want to date him. People lie to get out of trouble. People deny things that happened but will never admit to it under any circumstances. Then there's gossip, which is also a bunch of lies being spread about a person. So, are all these people evil if lying is evil? If so then don't lie. However, it would not be a lie to say something like "I have no answer for you" or "I'm uncomfortable discussing this with you and do not wish to". Breaking contracts? also a normal thing to do. But first you have to define a contract. If a contract is a legal document signed by two or more parties, then no, not everybody does this. If a contract is just a verbal agreement between two or more parties, then yes, everybody does this. For example, you agree with somebody to meet on Saturday to go archery shooting.
