I believe folks condition themselves to lie and be dishonest. At first it is uncomfortable and scary. In time their conscience becomes numb and they find a natural (to them) comfort in this. Their compass of right and wrong gets twisted and becomes upside down or Orwellian. Now dong right is uncomfortable and awkward. A lie is natural for them. They need help in rediscovering truth, conscience and their inner spirit. Without outside help, they are drugged and altered from true reality. They need to kick the drug of lies. Only then will they take responsibility for their part in this false reality. Thanks @krnel
