White lie

White lie is a lie that is told in order to be polite or to stop someone from being upset by the truth. Have you ever lied to not hurt others? Isn't that still an evil thing? Honestly, I'm the one who says about what I think even if it hurts someone. For example, there was a friend who asked me for advice on the design of the pamphlet and I would say anything less than the design, but still in polite. Compared to me having to lie and pretend to praise the design, it would be better if he accepts honest criticism and suggestions so that his skills can develop. Am I wrong?

Yeah, you're right. But sometimes people do it to stop someone from being upset by the truth.

I tell the truth if asked, but try to be polite about it. For example, if someone asked me how a dress looked on her, I would tell the truth. I wouldn't want her walking around looking like an idiot or fool.

I'm honest. I don't lie because a lie is a lie, it doesn't matter what color you color it. It's a lie. I don't lie. If you ask me something, I will tell you my honest opinion.

That's nice, I'll do the same thing. Because lie can hurts someone more deep than telling the truth.

I would probably say something like It's nice, but have you thought of such and such? Maybe they would revise it.

Any form of lie is a lie. Lie is a sin.

Sadly not every one can handle the truth, you can't blame them doing a white lie.

If we not know things than its better to tell them directly. If you say false to save someone or by it no one hurt or harm then its good.

In the case of a pamphlet design I would likely tell the truth as it could hurt their business to put out an inferior pamphlet. But many truths do not need to be spoken. For example, if I don't like someone's haircut, there is no reason I need to say anything about it.
