Have you not lied as well though?
EVERYBODY lies, some more than others, but you have a point. Liars make for rather ill company. And I am saying this from experience. I have been on both sides, and neither is pretty. I've lied so much in life, to protect myself from disappointment, from getting hurt, on the other hand it HURTS so much when people lie to me, like they can't trust me with the truth, but depending on the situation, I could care less if the person is a stranger. But a friend? ugh. As much as I hate it, it's what makes us human, this ability. To some, it is their vice. There have been cases when telling the truth has nearly gotten me kicked out the house.
And every human desires/need touch, some more than others. I crave/need it most likely because it was missing in my childhood. Why do you think you desire it so much.
