Justify a lie...
Someone once told me that a liar can be likened to a killer, and she was right. You can never tell whether it is the truth or not, so it is best to just ignore them totally, so as not to get entrapped with the lie and truth situation.
One thing is certain, a liar cannot be trusted. The painful part of the story is that it gets worse every time because a liar will keep on lying to cover up a simple lie told, he keeps lying till he cannot keep track of his lies anymore.
Trying to justify a lie only leads to more lies, so it is best to not even try. You do not justify a lie, you can only justify the truth.
