Lying To Lie: What is the True Motivation

After a great weekend in Atlanta, GA to celebrate the beginning of a new year with some close friends, I became engulfed in a conversation about lying.  The more we discussed the more varied the points of view.  So as I began to research the different terminology that we use for liars, I thought why not share.  I am curious to know what others think "the root of lying" comes from.

There has to be a beginning.  Is it learned? Genetic?
So to see if any "experts"{sarcasm} have coined terminology:

"The Habitual Liar"
The Habitual Liar continuously, and consciously lies about anything and everything and does so in a manipulative form.

"The Pathological Liar"
The Pathological Liar lies by fabricating grand scenarios about realistic events that they really don't know that they are lying.  It happens and they don't understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

'The Congenital Liar"
The Congenital Liar really does have a genetic disorder.

Needless to say, we never found the root of lying, but it makes for a great dinner conversation or roundtable withfriends.  Spark up the conversation and let me know what you discover.
