Anything includes lying. But lying can be very destructive and work against things you are interested in long term, and lies typically get exposed sooner or later. People who lie a lot usually are their own undoing. I think is influenced by three things. First is knowing or caring that lies cause damage.
Many people sincerely believe that lies never hurt anyone.
But in reality, sooner or later liars are caught in a lie, then everything they have said is cast in doubt. The person that was lied to then sees not only their present injury, they are made to anguish over the possibility of many injuries. The liar and his activities are cast in doubt. The liar shows by his own words that he is a dishonest person. Your moral and ethical character is put in doubt.
