    No never - even it menas trouble for me.
    Again, not preach JWism but it was the way I was brought off and possibly something I don't want to strug off.

    Why We Lie

    We all lie, all the time...

    We all lie, all the time. It causes problems, to say the least. So why do we do it? It boils down to the shifting sands of the self and trying to look good both to ourselves and others, experts say.

    "It's tied in with self-esteem," says University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert Feldman. "We find that as soon as people feel that their self-esteem is threatened, they immediately begin to lie at higher levels."

    From http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060516/sc_space/whywelie ...but only humans are wired to deceive both themselves and others, researchers say.
