Let’s be honest, lying takes a lot of work and usually ends up backfiring. They say honesty is the best policy for a reason. Honesty is important because it saves us from making a mess of things by lying and having to pull ourselves out of a tangle of excuses. When you tell one lie, you will likely have to tell a series of lies to back it up and support it later on. The first excuse is never the end but the beginning of a slippery slope!
