WHY is it not OK to tell a LIE?

Some people cannot get the bad impact of telling a lie. I am feeling bad that some people who are working in the government are not transparent lately. An issue that cannot be explained how vaccines were administered to some uniformed personnel. It contradicts the priority list that has been released by them. They are the fifth priority. Thus, they are not being truthful. If they can be like Pinocchio, we can be able to determine who are lying. Why is not good to give excuses or lie? Is it fine to tell white lies?

I think it is ok. I mean, they become the guinea pigs for us. If they develop adverse side effects, we might get better product. LOL

You have a point. If things went bad, then we can have the best ones.

I do not think I would tell an ugly woman or man that she or he is ugly which is a form of a lie but why hurt someones feelings, right?

There are times when it is best not to say anything or if asked what someone looks like not to mention that a person is ugly or what not @Shavkat

I agree. Honestly, I am a frank person and say things that need to be said. No need to sugar coat statements just to please anyone or hurt them. As long as I am saying the real truth.

@rebelann I do keep quiet when seeing things are not right. It is better to be like this than to hurt other people's feelings.

I agree. They are not that fruitful. I heard the vaccines were smuggled from China.

In reality, they are only a few. I hope that things will change. But then, it will be difficult to change the old system.

When we tell lies, we are deceiving people. Trying to make them believe what is not true. Honesty holds the key to freedom.

It is ideal to be true to ourselves. Deception is the root cause of misunderstading.
