Do you consider a White Lie to be a serious one???

I think people take the lying thing far too seriously. Lies that hurt people are bad, no denying that. Lies that spare feelings hold nothing bad, I don't care what anyone says.

In the real world it's impossible to always say the truth .. white lies saves the day and also saves many people's feelings from being hurt. Sometimes it's just rude to tell the truth and the right thing is to tell a white lie ... Anyone says that he doesn't lie will be the biggest liar lol

As long as you come clean with it later I think it is understandable that you would want to do it in private. I must confess when I was younger I told Mom some whoppers and still haven't come clean. lol She'd probably be just as mad now as she would then about some of the stuff I did when I was in college.

It depends on the situation, but I certainly see nothing wrong with a little white lie now and again. If someone has just spent a fortune on a new hairdo, and asks your opinion, - it may look hideous, but it will hurt them so much, and so unnecessarily, to say that! So why not tell them that it looks nice? They will be happy, and no harm done.

Yes. I see white lies as ones that spare someones feelings. For example "does my bum look big?". Theres more tactful ways of telling her yes you're putting on weight than just as she needs a confidence boost!

I honestly can say the only time I have told a little white lie is when I knew someone very close to me had also told a little white lie. I guess it's my way of getting back at them. What goes around comes around is my theory there. My white lie usually has something to do with the white lie that I caught them in. I really detest finding out that I've been lied to. Especially when it's someone very close to me. I feel hurt. Other then that, I always tell the truth, cuz I would feel too guilty about any kind of lie. :)

No, a lie is a lie. I always tell the truth even to my children. No lie is a good lie even if you come clean later on. Tell the truth and you will feel better about yourself.

It may be just me however I do not lie. Things just are and if you are willing to do the wrong thing then own up to it. Telling falsehoods just takes too much energy and we have enough things that want us to spend our energy one. To tell a lie is to allow the devil a fingerhold in your life I believe. He is the father of lies. A close relationship should allow free communication no matter the situation!!

not really it is just a safe lie for little things.

Depends on what you consider a white lie. A true white lie can sometimes be a good thing. So, yes, I think white lies can be harmless. As long as you don't turn your white lies into big ones, atleast.
