Nothing worse than a lie.

As written above, I don't think there is anything worse than a lie. Particularly being lied to your face. I thought I would write all this down, to get my frustation out, cause it REALLY frustrates me. And one of the worst things is being able to detect the lie. I am luckily/unluckily very good at that. I know when people lie to me, but that doesn't make the situation better. Later when you find that what you believed to be the truth, just is a big fat lie, it really hurts. I would much rather just hear the truth. And yes, that might hurt too, but not as much as discovering that it was a lie all along.

I know, this may be written in a confusing way .. But my opinion is out there somewhere :b
But seriously, why do people do it? I never lie if it's unnecessary, and you know why? Because I think things through in my head .. Always. Sometimes too much .. Anyway, I always think "If this was me, I would prefer to hear the truth". So, basically, I wouldn't do or say anything to anybody, if I wouldn't like it myself.
Mostly I see it as a good thing, but other times I really wish I could break out of it. The problem is, I just hate making people feel bad. Cause I've been put down, been humiliated, been made fun of, been lied to etc. etc. many times, so of course I know what it feels like. And I would never wish for me to cause other people to feel the same way. I guess that's why.

I just wish I could understand ..
What can bring people to cause such pain to others by lying? And is lying ever justified?
Why not just tell the truth?
