White Lies: Harmless or Harmful.

Nothing can be compared to telling the truth. Telling the truth signifies a good moral. And we believe that anyone telling a lie signifies bad morals and behaviors. Well, there are no lies here. As for the fact that if you lie, you will do a lot of things that you shouldn't be doing. All bad behavior is in line with lies, and all good behavior is in line with truth.Someone selling drugs will lie , steal, kill, traffic humans, and so on. These are what are in line with someone that can lie.

More reasons why our parents frown upon anyone who can lie and deal with the person mercilessly.In my family, we learn to say the truth regardless of what we are doing. This is one habit we are used to. That is why it's so difficult for me to lie, and if I try to lie, you will find out so easily.

I have a sister, which I always frowned upon anytime she wanted to lie; funny enough, she doesn't know how to lie. Sometimes I beat her for lying, and I know my reasons; the fact remains the same that I don't want her to become what I don't like. There is no way you will be a chronic liar and not be stealing and doing some other bad things. I had to make sure she stopped lying and was the best version of herself.However, sometimes lying is just the best thing you can ever do to make a situation better; telling the truth sometimes can bring damage, depending on the situations of things.

Let's imagine a situation whereby a mother lost his or her child and the mother happens to be on a sickbed. To prevent another death, they just have to lie to the mother that nothing happened at the moment; however, there is no way the truth of the matter will not come out, but for that moment, you have to prevent more damages because of the present situation. I was talking to one of my elders, and she told me about her husband's sickness and that her husband died in the night. They lied to her that nothing was wrong with him until the day they could actually tell her.

They had to lie that they wanted to take good care of him by moving him out of the house. And they did that because the woman just gave birth to a child not long ago.I once also lied in a relationship to one couple just to prevent more damage to their relationship, and honestly, relationships can be the worst because they will both find a way to settle the fight, and they will discuss you later, so to be on the safe side, I just had to lie.

The point is that if you have to lie, then it must be that you are preventing a bad situation from happening. People call them white lies, lols.Because if you didn't lie at that moment, it could cause more damage, and that would be more terrible than the lie you didn't make.

Very well explained in your publication, it seems to me that in certain cases people must lie, many times it is for reasons of survival, we recently have these cases of influencers that lie to make a living, making promotion of services or products that are good and it turns out that they are of weight quality. Things that happen in life, which in the end the lies sooner or later discover.

White lies?
There are no such things.
A lie remains a lie.
People only get to coin it in such sugar coated language to hide their evils which will sooner or later be revealed.
This is why we should not be advocates for liars or their lies.

Honesty is indeed the best policy but at times, with good intentions to spare someone's feelings, it's okay to lie. Small white lies of course. It's easy to take the moral high ground and say that lying is always bad but there are situations that are crucial to survival where lying is the only option. Only a person who is uncaring to anyone's feelings can provide the brutal truth when it's not really necessary.
