Truthfulness, Deceit, and Trust - Olena's

Perspective of the Liar
25 White lies probably do not harm the liar in the same
way as a public lie about an important matter, “But the
problem for liars is that they tend to see most of their
lies in this benevolent light and thus vastly
underestimate the risks they run.”
Liars have to cover up their lies with other lies. “The sheer
energy the liar has to devote to shoring them up is
energy that honest people can dispose of freely.”
