Can you make a lie survive?

If you think you can, then explain in this thread how you can.

I figure if you are a liar, then it must be important to keep your lie alive.

How far are you willing to go in order to keep a lie alive?

Every lie I made I chose not to keep it alive, because I like the truth over a lie.

And do any of you confessed liars believe that you have a lie that will go on past your demise?

Politicians have been doing it for centuries. If you tell a lie long enough it becomes truth.

depends on what's at stake...

If by any chance an exposed lie would ruin your family name, or a countrie's reputation...you would probably make sure it is never found out.

That's why we have the expression "he took his secret to his grave". Some truths would probably be too horrifying for many people. Unless you think there are no horrifying truths in the world ?

Just by saying you are honest to the folks does not make us believe you.
That does not keep a lie alive, it just makes you an obvious liar.
Me on the other hand... Well, all the world is a stage isn't it?

Just curious here,

If you like the truth over a lie than why did you tell a lie in the first place and not the truth. Obviously if you told the lie you don't prefer the truth.
