Is there a white lie?

September 6, 2011 7:31am CST
I have met people think that there are white lies,lies that are acceptable and are told to protect a person!Really isn't it better to tell the truth hurt someone but be set free? By what i understand once you tell a lie and you continue telling it more, some things come up and your small white lie becomes a big "black" lie.

Lie to give proof of diplomacy or diplomacy to give evidence is to lie? There are people who think this way is the ok to proceed. Lie just to not make those who suffer in mind .. He likes to live a lie and has no capacity to receive truth and to assume. Maybe I'm the direct, I do not accept these people and these attitudes. Some men, but not only and most women lie very nice. Lie all the time ... or they enjoy, or that's their character, or have a weak character and influence so that they are not able to take some actions and desires. A bit difficult ... maybe both. It means that person does not trust and does not want to trust. This means that it fails to admit a negative reaction? How else can you trust the word of a man who has lied all the time? How can you fix something with this man and believe that will happen ... tend to think that such people lose their credibility .. Those who lie to be diplomats, actually get to be like hypocrites, some people without character, some people ..... those who lie, just do not harm others, do not realize, but they are harm to them. Unfortunately, you can not build any friendship or relationship with lies .... you can only destroy one and not know how to reach you actually are.

Those who say word which disguise the truth are lie. There is no doubt in that. There are no white or black lie. Even if one tells lie to protect one is also considered to be lie. You must be truthful and one must have to say truth even his part is truth. God is the on who help us. He will always help the one who is truthful in lie. So Believe in God and be truthful and you will never enter in a situation to tell what you called "White lie" .

as far as I know about white lies is when we told something lie and it's to protect ourselves or other but for good purpose. for example: when there's a bad stranger asks you whether your father is at home or not, and in your heart you are really sure that he's a really bad guy, I think it's okay for you to tell him that your father is not at home. I mean you don't tell the truth cos you want to protect your father. and I think that a white lie is. when you tell something lie to others to cover your faults, I think it's not a white lie, but it's a LIE!

I think a white lie is something that is harmless, and does not really affect the liar or the recipient. For example I say my shoes are black, when their really white! Although why would I do that.right?
