Seems like our bodies are pre-programmed to adapt to what we choose. You can get used to lots of things, like exercise, like eating salads. Or, you can get used to unhealthy or unethical behavior. The forming of habits makes it easier.
It's that way with lying. Uncomfortable symptoms show up when someone is lying, and that's what lie detectors sense. But lying gets easier if it is practiced, according to a University College London study which confirms that, and according to ordinary common sense.
