Situation are the priorities, not me.
That way, there is no residue, of either guilt, or the 'gloating' of having mustered courage to something considered as 'bad', and having sacrificed for some 'good' and all that nonsense .

When the truth will severely injure the other person to the extent that there would be no way to make them feel better...
I don't like voluntarily destroying someone in any sense.
Sometimes it's better to just lie to save a life.

I lie on a daily basis; when ever I enter the Nursing home I tell the Residence how beautiful they look or what a beautiful outfit they have on. It makes them feel good and someone paid attention to them, and when they give me their big smiles I know that I did right by telling a fib.

WW II, Germany. You are hiding your neighbor and friend who is Jewish from a Nazi sweep. He is trying to leave the country. The Nazis come and ask, "Are you hiding any Jews". If you answer yes, you and your friend are both through.
Hell yes I would lie. But what is really a trip is lying is always wrong.
Its called the lesser of two evils.

You lie to cover the truth. Why should you lie if the truth is poss?... So you lie for a good reason. When you don't want the truth to be out.

To protect myself or to make others feel good I lie.

Depends, am I lying to someone else, trying to lie to myself?

only if the truth hurts more then the lie... and there is no way possible that they could ever know the truth... and even then its still not right...
