• Lying can be considered a creative act as it requires inventiveness and the ability to understand others’ perspectives, although the moral implications can be confusing.
• Building relationships of trust is important for creativity, and sometimes a little lying can be necessary to maintain those relationships.
• Researchers have found a link between dishonesty and creativity, as rule breakers often challenge societal norms and discover unique opportunities.
• Striking the right balance between honesty and rule breaking is crucial, as constant lying or ruthlessly breaking rules can be detrimental to relationships and creativity.
• Embracing our dark side occasionally and being forgiving of others’ trespasses can help foster creativity and human connection.
  

Lying, when approached with creativity and in moderation, can serve as a means of understanding others and building relationships, offering potential benefits for creativity, while striking a balance between honesty and rule-breaking is crucial for fostering human connection and innovative thinking.
