Do you tell lies to please somebody. Sometimes we understand that by telling small lies we can make others happy. Is it good to tell such lies which people term as "Harmless lies". For me telling lie can't be justifed whether it does any harm or not. What about you.

I must admit I have done this in the past just to make someone happy. Not good at all I'm sure as lieing is lieing even if you mean no harm. Afterwards, I actually don't feel comfortable with myself and feel guilty for ever saying it. I don't know why I put myself in these situations either. Why not just tell the truth? fear that they will not be pleased by it I guess, and or maybe more ashamed I think!! Sometimes it's difficult to go back on your word and other times I have and felt better for owning up to the fact that I lied just to make them happy.

First of all you should take a strict decision not to tell any lies irrespective of any consequence. After that it will become a normal habit. Please try. I have tried and I am cool now.
