Being honest is important. When people say it was just easier to lie, or fib, or avoid a topic --- I equate that to being lazy. There is no such thing as a little lie, a lie is a lie is a lie, and sometimes omitting is just as dishonest.
Being truthful may not always be easy, but if you care enough about the person you are talking to, and your relationship with him/her, you will make yourself uncomfortable for the sake of honesty. Telling the truth in the moment is a lot less stressful than worrying about getting caught, not to mention less painful and less damaging than when you do get caught.
I recently saw the following quote in a blog I read --- "The truth needs so little rehearsal" Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal Dreams --- I could not agree more.
