Would you all want to live in a world where lying was impossible? Why or Why Not? Do you believe that you would fare better in this world, the same or worse?

A world without fiction would be dull.

Although it would be nice to live in a world where people are more truthful, it would become dull and predictable. I reckon lying has served many a good purpose but I wish people would have a better idea of when it is appropriate and when not.

I also think its very unfortunate that those people who are very good at lying have a distinct advantage over those who don't.

I was never a good liar,I am amazed at how easy it is for some people.I have a hard time knowing when someone is lying.
