“When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another”
Paul Hatch is trying to explain that if you start lying once you will do it again even if you don’t mean to do it. You will begin to feel comfortable and repeat it again. It will then become a habit. For instance, let us say that you want to go over a friends house. Although in order to go you need to do all your homework. Your parents then ask you if you have finished and you have trouble deciding whether you should lie to them or not. So you say you are done and they let you go. You will then feel guilty. The next time you want to go it will be easier for you to lie. From there the lies will begin.
