Why you shouldn't tell a lie.

Telling a lie undermines trust, which is the foundation of any relationship or society. When you lie, you risk being found out, which damages your credibility and can lead to broken relationships, lost opportunities, or legal consequences. Lies also create a web of deception that’s hard to maintain—small lies often snowball into bigger ones, causing stress and guilt. Honesty, on the other hand, fosters respect and reliability, even if the truth is tough. Plus, living authentically feels better than carrying the weight of deceit.
chronic lying can lead to stress, anxiety, and damaged relationships, which may indirectly affect health. Stress from maintaining lies or fear of being caught can elevate cortisol levels, potentially contributing to issues like high blood pressure or weakened immune function over time.
honesty is linked to lower stress and better social connections, which can promote longevity. So, while lying itself doesn’t directly shave years off, the lifestyle and emotional toll it creates might.
