A while back I realized I told a lot of "harmless lies." So since than the fourth precept has actually been my focus. Occasionally I give out information I know is incorrect, just because I wasn't thinking when I said it. I don't think that's a lying problem as much of a mindfulness problem, though. Either way, it's been a while since I've purposely misled somebody.

Not lying is harder than I would have thought. I told a lot of lies with the intention of not hurting somebody.
