Do you lie? If your answer is I don’t like, think twice. 

These are common lies that we tell on a daily basis. For example, "How are you?" A lot of us answer "Fine", even when we could be any number of these things: angry, disappointed, sad, tired, and the list goes on. 

You might ask why lie. We do it to save face, to smooth out social situations, to make people feel better, to make our lives more comfortable. 

Recently, the People’s Daily published a list of common harmless white lies that we have become so accustomed to saying that we may not even notice them. 

Listen to the show and find out what included in the list.
