I'm more interested in why you would ask this question. Have you recently been an unfortunate victim of lies?

As for why people lie - it's more useful to ask "Why wouldn't people lie?" This kind of question ... if people have the ability to convey information, they have the ability to lie. And when people have the ability to do something, they will usually end up doing it - especially if they aren't particularly concerned with or informed about the consequences of said lies. Simply put - they lie because they can, usually with impunity.
