    # Hello friends and community 😍.

I don’t think there has been anyone exempted from lies. Or those who can be classified as angels 👼 to telling truth since some lies are told in situations that are critical to human life even though the truth will be discovered anytime soon.

We lie most times to comfort people especially those who are in pain or under health observation, knowing that telling them the full truth of a situation at that point in time can cause damage of any kind to their health. These are the areas I see lie of omission as something that can be justified.

Although humans has practically lived with all kinds of lies making people believe in things that are wrong 😑, even to the extent of impacting wrong ideas in peoples knowledge which is the worst kind lifestyle with telling lies. This is morally wrong and unacceptable when it comes to what kinds of lies should be justified or lies of omission.

To some people telling lies has become part of lifestyle which they see as nothing despite knowing that lies can destroy someone’s personality, companies can fold if lies are involved and told about there products, and even nations can be brought down and disrespect if they are not worthy of trust.

I believe as humans we should know when its time to tell the truth when dealing with people because living diligently and creating transparency about ourselves with others leaves some trust about us in the heart ♥️ of others. Lies are lies no matter how we present them to others and which we know can come out in the open in no time long, even though we want to cover up for a little while and look decent. These kinds of lifestyles will definitely hinder our personality and our set out goals in life.

And issues with telling the truth is also another big thing around the world 🌎 in this recent times. Some truth from people who wants to present themselves as decent people have caused so much trouble here and there, this is because false knowledge from others is spreading like wild fire 🔥 especially in the religious community due to how those involved wants to make money from those they are deceiving or wants to rise to fame. These are deadly lifestyle that many have inculcated nonchalantly.

In all I still believe in lies we told that can save a soul or save life because of situations involved. We lost a lady church member about a month ago. Although she has been sick but not to the extent of suddenly dying. One of daughters was at the heat of here final exams and the one so close to her mother. When here mother died, the woman 👩🏻 group decided not to tell when ever she calls from school, tell her she is getting better until she finished her exams and came back home. This was a huge lie to her but the group did it for her health, and since she was in her final year examination and project.

In conclusion, there is nothing that can be compared to telling the truth and living a decent lifestyle when it comes to lying 🤥, but sometimes we might be caught up in a situation that will warrant us to tell one lie or the other especially those that can help save lives. These are lies of omission and.can not be seen as bad as when compared to those people tell to to live fake lifestyle. Lies that are meant to save I see as totally a saving grace. People should check themselves on what lies they are telling.
