However, the more we grow up, the more we know about using of lying because telling the truth cannot always solve the problem. From my point of view, some lying is acceptable, some is not. It depends upon what purposes that make people tell lies. A white lie is allegedly one which is done for someone's good and which harms no one. There’s no such thing. The philosophical view

A white lie is a term for a harmless or trivial lie. Humans lie and that is a truth no one can deny. I had dinner at a friend’s house last week and she went out of her way to cook a complex seafood meal, which I did not care for. When asked if I wanted seconds, I said no. My claim was that I was already full. Was that lie? Yes, I lied to be polite, rather than to tell her I did not like the way she prepared the fish. The First Amendment gives us the right to tell these lies without fear of repercussions

She uses exemplification: provides examples of the ways we lie during the course of the day. She states, “I told my client traffic had been bad. When my partner came home, his haggard face told me his day hadn’t gone any better than mine…” Syntax: “We lie. We all do.” This creates a sense of tension

have tendencies to lie in order to benefit themselves or others. One very common lie is a white lie, which is a lie that is considered harmless and often is used to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Another type of lie is an Out-and-Out lie, which are “complete” or “absolute” lies that are often bad, or the person is trying to avoid trouble. Everybody lies at some point to avoid, protect, or to minimize consequences. However, consequences are determined by the severity of the lie. The less severe,

We all lie, to say we do not in and of itself is a lie. Humans lie in a multitude of ways. Stephanie Ericsson writes about the falsehoods we tell- is it beneficial or does it cause more damage? The author argues our lies are more powerful than we think; like any other action lies have their consequences. However, even with this knowledge we continue to lie, and include it in our everyday life. I believe your intentions can not justify the action as you are never certain of the outcome.

The Truth vs. the “White Lie” Lying in a marriage is a slippery slope and trust is a delicate thing. I have told my children that a thousand truths can be destroyed by just one lie. Once those truths are destroyed, it is the lie that will typify you. The truth is extremely powerful as well, because you can try to bury it, but you can't kill it. Sooner or later someone is going to dig it up. The truth is an awkward subject that our spouses believe they want to hear no matter what the answer

What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all”( Ayn Rand).
