Yes i do think that at times man has to lie. Because the truth would hurt people and then there might be a chance for separation. But if a lie is found that it's a lie then i guess there would be even more punishment i guess. I am a little comfortable with lying so i lie sometimes. Means that i am lying now about being comfortable about lying and also lying sometimes!

Then we have to tell a series of lies to make up the first lie we tell. It's better to be honest. you see?just now i tell a lie^^

we don't really have to tell a series of lies. we can tell the truth when things are back to normal and good again

There are lies that really hurt people,to me its how you tell the lies, How you express it,How you address it to the person, if you tell it ,by not accepting your fault then that will cause conflict....Tell a lie as if it was a Honest mistake,then ask forgiveness and compromise..The hurt yes that's part of it, but when one accepts your fault or lies and forgive you,then the feeling will just fade away,if forgiven...take note of this,if forgiven....thanks!

Its ok to lie in certain suituations....i have done that....it is said....its ok to lie, if the life can save a life. This has happened in the Hindu Mythology. One lie has saved 1000's of lives.

I think it is not okay but it is a must. You get what I mean? It is still not called "okay" but we still do it." The ends do not justify the means ". This is always true, no matter if we lie to save a dozen lives it does not make it right. We can do it but it is still called a sin and you still sin even if it is for a good cause. This is what I learned from theology.

A lie is a lie. And when the person you lied to finds out about the truth, it will be more painful and harder to forgive. Its better to tell the truth and face the consequences, than lie and pray that you won't get caught lying.

I think it is perfectly alright to lie if it benifits others. There are times when a lie is very necessary to save our as well as others skin, in times like that i think it is alright to lie.

Well basically speaking telling a lie is really wrong but there are some instances that we need not to tell the truth or divulge any informations, other than that we are lying because of the security and privacy reasons. For example if the holduper seen that you have money and he even knew the exact amount inside your pocket then he is going to ask for it of course we can't be able just answer it. If you bring your love life partner inside your room and you are making something miracle or different then your parents ask you if what are you doing? How are you going to answer it. Well unless if you are that liberated enough or your parents does not care about it.

Yes, I think it's okay, too. However, I try to solve the problem by another means, and if I don't find a solution try with lies. I try to do not indulge in to lie a lot. Only in special moments and needs. Because if I indulge in to lie every time when I've got obstacles, I think I'll become a big liar, which is very bad. Think, I was enough descriptive. :) Have a nice day.

it dependson the people we r dealing with. the human mentalities will be always fluctuating depending upon the persons we meet. if the one is our enemy, we think of hurting him even with outreason. and if he is our heart throber, we consider his mistakes as ours and get compramised and we ourselves will get hurted in stead of him.

you know, i dont lie. i just tell half truths. for example, my dad told me not to go to the cinema theatre. but i did go there and on the way, i went to a shop to buy some snacks. so when i come back home and my dad asks me where i went, i will say that i went to the shop! its the truth right??? i did go to the shop right??? so i didnt lie. i told the truth. this is just an example of what i do. i dont lie.i mean at least i try not to. " If you cant break the rules, then bend them" thats my policy. what do you think???
