depends on why your lying...
is it to save someone hurt... is it to save you hurt... is it to make something easier for someone else... sometimes you lie and don't even know it... its a grey area... sometimes it is cruel to tell the truth who is to say what you know is the truth anyway? truth is subjective just a thought! |

SOME truth is subjective, a lie is a deliberate act to knowingly deceive. There is a difference |

There is no excuse for lieing. Once you lie, you have to remember what you told to whom & sometimes one lie turns into more than one lie. So you tell the truth & do not have to remember. It is just that simple.Once someone lies to me there is no more trust in that realationship.

Give me your justification for telling a lie. (i.e. - under what circumstances do you think a lie is ok). Please be truthful. It's not nice, but I think a lie is always justified when a question is out of place (ie, none of that person's business). I believe that true honesty can only be attained by people who only answer to themselves. The more you distrust, the more you'll be 'lied' to imo. |

Why would you lie rather than not answering or saying it was none of their business? I get asked personal questions daily I refuse to answer. I say that I prefer not to answer, or that the question is inappropriate. My tone lets them no there is no harshness intended. |

"Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies." Huckleberry Finn (Fictional character in a work of fiction by Mark Twain pseudonym for Samuel Clemens.)
Kind of reminds me of the cartoon character Big Bird who had an imaginary friend called Snuffalufugas who was a cartoon character himself. "Oh, what a wicked web we weave when we practice to decieve."

Why would you lie rather than not answering or saying it was none of their business? Not lie rather than, but I feel it is justified to the person telling the lie if the question is thought too personal. I think too many people put too big of an emphasis on others telling the truth. Are so many people out there evil and want to fool others? I don't think as many as people want to believe. More people need to trust others, not blindy, but not be foolishly paranoid as well. Almost all lies are told because the person asking was digging too much. Being open is always the best policy, but I can understand why some people lie, and I don't condemn them for it. |

So you do not do what you think is "always the best policy".... hmmmmm. I have no trouble establishing boundaries with people who dig too deep. I can only speak for myself. To each his own... I'll ask no questions!

I'll ask no questions! Actually, I rarely ever lie, I don't see the need to. I don't hide who I am, if somebody does'nt like it, I don't see it as my problem. I've been on the other side of lies. Long ago, others telling me the truth was so important to me. Over time I discovered that the more I looked for honesty, the more I was disappointed. Now I try more to accept people for who they are and judge others by their deeds rather than words. |

When telling the truth would do nothing but hurt someone.
When telling the truth could be dangerous. When telling the truth could be painful. When telling the truth will put you in jail.
