We all are born to tell truth and do not understand the meaning of lie. Child do not understand what to say, how to say but he/she do say what he/she feels, sees, hear, experience; hence we say "bacche mann ke sacche" in other words; "kids are true to their heart".
Elders will preach "Do not say lie" "Always say truth" blah blah... but then as time goes, same elders will say them to say lie according to the situation (might be to hide their own mistakes or to hide truth which they do not want to reveal at home, etc). Children might not understand the difference between the two (truth vs lie). They just obey/follow elder instruction but then this lead them to say lie and thus journey begins of saying lie, lie and beyond lie.

Our own childhood days; we use to say lie to teachers if we have not done homework, we say lie to our parents to escape from school bcos we are afraid of exams or punishment from teachers, we say lie to get more time to play, to escape from tuition or study at home, to hide our low marks / percentage we get, and many other such things.
Lie for everything and anything we wish to do; be it to hide our mistake or be it to enjoy our life without elder’s knowledge or to indulge in bad habit due to peer pressure or for our own interest/entertainment. It may be bunking classes, watching C grade movie, smoking or drinking, meeting our GF/BF without parent’s permission, spending lavishly, etc...
We say lie for love, for own mistakes we want to hide, to protect ourselves or someone who is dear & near to us, to achieve something great, to boost our image or heighten our pride status...
Lie is nothing but defence (for hiding our own mistake, etc.); fun (to meet lover, indulge in bad habits for our own entertainment without other knowledge, etc.); cheat (for trade or business, to backstab our own enemy, etc.); protection (for our own dear ones, giving someone chance to improve, etc.); happiness ( to give our dear ones feeling of being special to you). There are many excuses, reasons and in fact seasons too for saying lie and lie and beyond lie. Lie too has flipside of coin. One is darker side (defence, fun, cheat, etc.); while other is brighter side(protection, happiness, etc.).
