Is it possible to live your entire life without lying, or is it human nature to do so because all of it is subjective to your own view?

I'm going to say no. Because I remember a situation where I was asked what color heels I bought and I said one color but that was the wrong color. I didn't mean to lie and at that time I didn't think I lied but I couldn't decide at the store which color to get and then forgot which color I bought when asked so I ended up lying without even knowing it. So you might lie simply because you forgot and did it unintentionally because little things like dates, colors, times, and so on might not always be remembered :/

No, lying is a part of nature. But I wouldn't contradict it with morality. There are different kinds of lies, plus, no one has to be saint. It would be a very boring life.

But do not do it too late!

No. You can just control it. Too many lies => you get yourself in serious troubles. Plus it's a natural trait:

I don't see lying as a part of nature because it's a conscious choice. BUt I agree the morality involved depends on the lie. If the person lying feels it's wrong, then it's immoral

We can count some sentence as a lie only by reflection. To lie - is to say something:
a) not reffering to external world; b) stating something that does not exist; c) contradictional; d) something different to thoughts of ours.
So, if we would live in illusion, making no contradictions and never reflects, we would live pure honestly life. Since this conditions couldn't be avoid - we ought to forger about living truthly.

I think Oscar Wilde put it best. Champing his gilded oats, the Hippogriff will stand in our stalls, and over our heads will float the Blue Bird singing of beautiful and impossible things, of things that are lovely and that never happen, of things that are not and that should be. But before this comes to pass we must cultivate the lost art of Lying.

I remember this forum member. He didn't comment regularly, but he was from the beginning.
I think that it is possible to live without a lie, but it takes really hard efforts.
