Oh my, I would be afraid to do that.

Oh. Well the Dr did say he was NOT saying it was ok to lie. He said "you asked why he lied" and he told her.
All that is beside the point. He lied to hide something. Which is also one of my views of liars. They have something to hide, or they THINK they have something to hide.

This is true. Some people lie because their conscience is seared, therefore, it doesn't bother them in the least. Another aspect.

Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied.A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain.
These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law. Lying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves.
Why do we dislike liars, especially sociopaths, so much? It’s a matter of trust.
Serious deception often makes it impossible for us to trust another person again. Because the issue of trust is on the line, coming clean about the lie as soon as possible is the best way to mend fences.
If the truth only comes out once it is forced, repair of trust is far less likely.

Re: Why People Lie
I think a lot of serial killers and the like are this way. Some of them can be very charming, like Ted Bundy was. But that is only a tool for self gratification I think.

Re: Why People Lie
I had family members who were liars. Father and son. They definitely could not be trusted to tell the truth. So sad they both passed away at an early age in their 30's. I'm not sure if this was in the genes or not.

It's an evil spirit to which they give heed to. Sin is not genetic.
Peter asked Ananias, Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost?

Yes I agree. Long story about the effect upon their lives . To many sad memories of that time.
