friends help: Is lying under any circumstances okay? - Help.com

nope

Never lie- Say what you mean and mean what you say, and you’ll stay true to yourself

If one can’t be trusted with little things, they can’t be trusted with bigger things. I blelieve that it is best to try to not lie at all.

like what?

If someone is trying to kill me and I’m hiding in your house you better lie for me!!lol

i think it is…if we didn’t lie about some things..everone would get pissed off at us if it’s not what they want to hear..and life would probably go to hell…lol

whhoooa, she talked!!!!!!!
Is this a good or bad thing??

I tell the truth till my death, even if it brings it.

I don’t believe for one second that you can live your life without a lie, maybe someone out there has, maybe someone will say they have… I cant proove them wrong, but certainly most people will have to lie to spare someones feelings, to save someone from grief…. for inumerable reasons, in their lifetime. Idealism is one thing, but it doesnt always work out in the real world. If my friend asks me if hes lost weighgt and he is fat and the same, but hes been workin to lose weight, i will lie and say hes looking better. That will motivate him to keep going. If you can tell me to regret that, I’d like to see you justify yourself.

I think a degree of lying is okay. I mean, it’s hard to draw the line where it’s okay, and not okay. I believe it’s okay to lie about the small “how do I look?” kind of things.

So if im ugly, you’ll tell me i’m ugly if I ask you?

And your going to tell me I suppose that you’ve done this? in real life?

If you ask for my opinion, i give an honest one, it may hurt you, but it will not hurt me.

nikkistella,
thats your dad what about your best friend. For me that would be hard to do. Could you just have said dad I miss your hair but I love you anyway? Would that have been a lie? It would have been nicer to your dad.

your welcome Aren’t Dads great!!

Its all about motives, the why ,the purpose. If its to save yourself so you wont get in trouble, Its wrong. because its wrong to NOT take responsibility for your own action.That is wrong because it places the blame the innocent.I dont think you will have a problem with this.You generally know right from wrong.It’s ts called Discernment,A Great Quality,gift to have.it has something to do with integrity.I just cant find the words right now.If you need help in understanding this,you can go to the dictionary or ask someone.Sorry,Im really tired.All the other I said is True.

no, dad’s are not great.
Some are, but not all of them.
Some suck.
