  2. Telling Lies Game

Avoid telling other lies. Lying requires you to have a good memory. The more lies you tell, the harder it will be to keep up with them. If your brain is required to keep up with multiple lies, you may end up telling on yourself. To cut down on the number of lies you tell, do not lie to multiple people. They may lie by omission or tell 'little white lies' that paint a very different picture of reality. It's no surprise that these lies don't just hurt relationships, they can outright destroy them. In the context of lying, that means that people perceive a lie as immoral if one person knowingly tells a lie that inflicts harm that is felt by another. Disagreements about the morality of a lie. And there is good news, these negative thoughts you were programmed to believe are LIES. 'How could we possibly be responsible for telling ourselves these horrible lies?' you might ask. Telling Lies requires a deliberateness from its players that turns us from viewers to active plot participants. It's a game that doesn't hold your hand, and ultimately it's down to you to decide the truth – another secret of a good mystery done well.
