I believe that people often choose lies over the truth because the truth can be, uncomfortable, too much to deal with, and overall, hurtful.
A lie can provide many temporary comforts and solutions but it’ll never truly solve one’s problems without it coming to bite them back in the end.
Sometimes people go as far to tell themselves that a lie is the truth. Lying isn’t always about wanting to deceive others but also wanting to protect them.
