Is it ever better to tell a lie rather than tell the truth? If so, when?
Most of us our taught to believe that lying is wrong. But it seems that everybody tells lies not big lies, but what we call white lies. If we believe that lying is wrong, why do we do it? Most of the time, people have very good reasons for lying. For example, they might want to protect a friendship or someones feelings. So, when do we lie and who do we lie to? A recent study found that the average person lies about seven times a day. Here are some ways and reasons why. #1 Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesnt tell his parents that hes dating a girl because he doesnt think they will like her. Instead, he says hes going out with the guys. #2 Lying to make an excuse: Sometimes people lie because they dont want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring , so you say youre busy. #3 Lying to make someone feel good: Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No. You probably say, Mmm, this is is delicious! #4 Lying to avoid sharing bad news: Sometimes we dont want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you dont feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say that everything was fine.
