It's extremely unlikely that anyone in history has told the truth 100% of the time. Even the most honest people occasionally tell white lies, omit details, or misremember things. Here’s why:

1. Human Memory is Imperfect
Even if someone intends to be truthful, misremembering events or recalling details incorrectly means they’ve technically said something untrue.
Studies show that memory is reconstructive, meaning people unintentionally distort facts over time.
2. Social Etiquette Requires Small Lies
Everyday life involves harmless deceptions:
"I love the gift!" (even if they don’t).
"I’m fine." (when they’re not).
"It was great seeing you!" (when it wasn’t).
Avoiding these would make social interactions difficult.
3. Survival & Practicality
Throughout history, people have sometimes needed to lie to protect themselves or others (e.g., hiding people during war, bluffing in negotiations).
Even religious or philosophical figures known for truthfulness have likely withheld information or softened reality for the sake of kindness.
4. Children & Early Development
Studies show that children begin lying as early as age 2 or 3, usually to avoid trouble or get attention.
If someone were truly 100% honest, they’d have to never have lied as a child, which seems almost impossible.
Has Anyone Ever Come Close?
Figures like Abraham Lincoln ("Honest Abe"), Immanuel Kant, or religious figures (e.g., Jesus, Buddha, Confucius) were known for their commitment to truth.
However, even they may have used parables, diplomacy, or omissions, which technically aren’t full truths.
So while some people have lived remarkably honest lives, absolute 100% truthfulness in every situation, at all times, across an entire lifetime? Highly unlikely.
