Probably. what is your system? What is your shell? For some systems and shells (but by no means all) you can put alias ll="ls -al" in your .profile so ll will run ls -al. I wouldn't alias ls itself, what if you need it?

It becomes a hassle to run ls without -la. You have to do /bin/ls to get around your alias.

One can escape the command to get around the alias.
Code:
\ls

And it's only one extra keystroke.
