White Liar

Many people in society often tell little white lies. "I'll be back in a few minutes" sometimes means "I'll be back in an hour.. Or two" Most little white lies are harmless and do not mean much. They are usually said to protect the person inquiring. Although, sometimes little lies turn into bigger and bigger lies until they snowball out of control. There have been many television shows over the years that starts with a character telling a little lie about why the cannot come to work, or go to someone's party. Then it starts going bad. They are suddenly chasing their tail trying to remember what lie they told what person and how they are going to cover it up. (This would be a great time not to lie in the first place.)

So when is it ok to lie? I personally do not think little white lies will hurt much, but it becomes a problem when you tell a major lie, or you lie to someone you care about. If their is important informant to tell a bestfriend or reletive, then it migh not be the best idea to keep them in the dark. I think it would be beetter if they were mad for trying to protect them, rather than be mad for NOT protecting them

I am a very good liar, but I try not to do it often. I have found that honesty is the best policy. I may be able to lie but what good do I get out of lying? Not getting in trouble at home maybe. But I would not want to hurt one of my friends with my lies.  I believe that if the world stopped lying things would be a whole lot better, sadly this wish will most likely never happen.
