Why Folks Lie & Deceive: A spontaneous, obvious philosophy

Here are the basics:

• Arrogance 
• Convenience/Immediacy 
• Cowardice/Fear 
• Malice 
• Pride
• Selfishness

I'll give an honorable mention to "lack of emotional energy" but really...that's pretty much covered by convenience and fear.

My overall attitude toward lying and deception:

• Unnecessary
• Unfair 
• Sucks!  (Just sayin'...)
