Honesty is the best policy

WHEN we were young, we were taught in school and by our parents not to lie. In relationships, as in so many other facets of life, honesty is undoubtedly the best policy. Why? Because a lie promotes distrust and when trust is broken, it is difficult to earn it back if at all. A relationship based on lies will not last forever. There will always be that doubt. Sabi nga ni Ms.Susan Roces, ang sinungaling ay kapatid ng magnanakaw.

And yet why do people lie? An article I came across says honesty is not always the best policy at work.
