Have you ever done such? Have you lied to a friend? why did you do that? was it for you own good or her good or for the good of your friendship? Or was it something that you did and then lied to her admitting you didn't do it just to continue being friends with her for some reason? Or were you always truthful to your friend?

Well what do i say in this regard. I have actually lied to my friends a couple of times. But it was for their good. There was no bad intention of mine in it. I did it even though there was a chance of breaking up of our friendship bond. But then as they say that where there is a will, there is a way. I did lie to them and today when they know everything about it, they are still my best friend and i hope that i am their best friend too.

well, it's not right to lie but lying for a reason is okay,right? a good explanation to yourself and to them later will assure you that it'll be okay.. there are situations that you need to lie to protect a friend especially if you really love her/him/your friendship..

I feel that the every relationship is based on the trust. If this basic element is not there in the bond, then the relation wont last long.

Doesn't sound good to lie to a friend. You will lose a friend if she finds out that you had lied to her. I never lie to a friend as I fear that they will brand me a liar!

well,you do have a point but sometimes telling lies can protect you, your friend or your friendship,right? i can't think of a situation right now but i think there'll be a time that you would lie in case of something happened..(maybe)

I think there is only one place where you can tell the truth... to your friend. it will be ease you... you will feel free just share it with your friend... And try to be truthful to not only to your friend but also all your surrounding people.

dear friend, Friendship is the only SHIP that does not sink in the ocean of life which consists of stormy winds. When it comes to the maintenance of balance between family relationships and friendships, lies are uttered. It is done with unintentional harm to anybody. A husband or wife who has got friendship with a man or lady have to maintain both, and in the process, lies are unavoidable. Because two relationships have to be maintained at any cost. Friend nor husband / wife can be avoided. In the end, Friendship wins despite lies. A husband or wife may not bear the torture of lie. BUT A FRIEND CAN TOLERATE EVEN LIES ON MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BASIS. A FRIEND IS INDEED A FRIEND IN NEED. THIS saying has proved right.
