The question isn't whether you should lie, but HOW you should lie, if you have to.
The first thing you have to ask yourself in a situation is "is there a chance this lie will ever be discovered?" or "does anyone else have a knowledge of the situation"? If the answer is no, then if you must, then go ahead. If the situation is yes, then you're better off speaking the truth..... only when asked. NEVER volunteer anything.
Don't get me wrong, with that I don't necessarily mean that we should advocate lying. The truth is still the best. Unfortunately, we have to deal with people, organizations and societies in general that are less understanding and by the most part adversary... and one has to survive.
In other words, too many people have black and white expectations when we are all gray and all living in a gray world. We have to do what it takes to survive, because nobody else will do it for us.

speaking the true/truth is always the best abd greatest of all. I dont find a reason why must we lie. A human will only lie if he or she done something against the true/truth. Its not easy to speak the truth always as in corners of our life we do come across of situations that we have no way out except lie our way out. Lie is equall to short solution and when the truth is nail on our face than we are caught our pants down. A bullshitter is made of lies. One lie require another lie to cover and next lie to blanket and another and another and this goes on till he or she is known or labbeled as a liar, can't be trust person and so on. So the best is always speaks the truth.

If a lie makes someone happy, if it makes someone's life better,then it is always preferable against the truth. You cannot survive in this world if you chose to speak truth everytime. The biggest liar in this world is the one who claims that he has never spoken a lie in his life. So, try to be truthful but you can lie if it is for the betterment of someone.

To speak the truth is always good but sometimes in a situation where you are scared that somebodies relation is going to break or somebody might get die with the truth than you can speak lies.

A simple rule in life, is never help others, without telling them that you are helping them. If something goes wrong, it will be taken that you have done it for your benefit only.
In this case, if you are doing something for the persons benefit, atleast let some other person know this. Or else tell the truth.

America's policy is no negotiations with terrorists. Mine is no negotiation with liars and cheats. How would u feel if some one lied to u? It is simple! Always treat all the others exactly the way u would like to be treated in such situations. It is better to hurt some one's heart by telling them the truth rather than soothing their souls by telling them lies.

hmm,this is very controversial but I think that as long as some good comes out of it and lying is not very cumpulsive and unecessary it is good to indulge in it. but it should not hamper another persons growth like if someone is your friend specially you should not hide his bad qualities from him he may feel hurt at first but its for his improvement only. rest depends on condition too. best of luck!truth is best in the long run. also if there is any chance that truth can be discovered say the truth.
