If you telling me you never lie, than either you are lying as well or you better find a place to hide, as this world is too dangerous to you. Myself is a graphic designer. Graphic? Designer? Yes. When your are in this kinda jobs, you are part of an advertiser. You somehow have to lie, to attract people to look at your product and services. So, what is lying? According to wikipedia, (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie) "A lie is a statement used intentionally for the purpose of deception.  The practice of communicating lies is called lying,  and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar."

It's easy to gossip and defame others for your own benefi...
