Would you say white lies to someone you love so that you will not hurt him?

I'm afraid I don't. Yes, I have stepped on those toes a few times. If I see hurt, I always follow with an extra does of love. After all, doesn't love heal all??? I have found that when they really want the truth, they always show up at my door.

A lie is a lie, may it be white or not. Just always tell the truth. If you're afraid because you think that you might hurt someone's feelings, then just tell things in a nice way. There are a lot more choices than just lying. =)

telling a lies isn't that easy guys.. but speaking of white lies it will saved you from a harmful and let your trust stays. white lies is something on purpose. If you tell white lies then your purpose not to harm or hurt the people you loved then it is just okay or the most important of telling white lies if you could save someone souls by not making him harm.

No. It is not love if you lie. IF I tell you "white" lies (which are still lies) then how will you know the truth? IF you find out that I do not speak the truth with you then how will you know what you can or cannot trust? IT's worse to lie than to tell the truth.

I will definitely not choose to lie even if it's only a white lie. I believe in the saying that "once a liar, always a liar". Despite the weight of the lie, at the end of it all it's still a lie and it will ruin the person's trust.

i think when you start a white lie it may soon be followed by another lie which in return and end up with another problem where you think soon enough will can never be handled anymore! so,better not to lie or if you lie,make sure to end up it all the sooner the better! always remember these: "the truth will always prevail" "the truth will set you free" "no secret is safe" "promises are made to be broken" oh,the last one doesn't fit the discussion! sorry for that! hurting someone is never easy but when you have no choice,you really have to tell him the truth! for it can be worse the next time he finds out you're lying!

For me... I might not. I don't like lies. What I would do, probably is to put the truth to the person I love in a very polite and friendly manner. Because, if You love that person so much, why lie to Him?

I think that most people do this everyday, I know I do. It is not like a lie, a lie is morally wrong, but a white lie is completely different. What about Santa Clause? Is he a white lie ? If you don't like someone's new hair cut, is it wrong to say you do and avoid hurting a friends feelings?
