Yeah, Keena.. I was gonna say something about animals other than humans also being able to decieve, but you beat me to the punch. Good work.
Anyway, I think people lie, cheat, steal, kill, do mean things to other people because somehow they've been conditioned to think it's an acceptable thing to do.
Whether or not it benefits them, people do what they were taught to do. They could have learned from watching others, following media, turning inward, or for any other reason.
We do what we do because we're human and think we're too complicated to figure out. People just want to be happy, and some are misguided to think that attacks on their fellow humans will bring some form of joy.
