Friend Lying is not a good thing and not even bad too. Because some times the situation is like that where if you say lie then surely you girl friend may not leave you but if you say the truth then sure she is gonna leave you. So on that situation it is better to lie but not always.

The best way is to be honest and not lying. In my case, I will find myself absolutely guilty when I lie others frequently. Because it will be having same feeling that I am lying myself. So, lie is set to be one of my don'ts.

It depends in most cases if it's better to tell a lie or the truth. If, for example, you talked to your ex-girlfriend and that's all you did but you know for a fact that your girlfriend will get angry if she finds out that you did, you had better tell a lie instead of confessing the truth. This will save the both of you from a possible break up or an argument at least. If it doesn't require you to lie, then just tell the truth.

I sometimes happen to me to lie, and those around me are happening all the time. Why do we believe it is easier to say the truth, than to deal with our own lives? Last time I lied I did it out of fear. The penultimate time, when we had no courage to tell the truth, we were kneeling by my own cowardice, and, to a time before I was really overwhelmed by my own fault. But it found that people around me lie, most often from completely different reasons. Some that have a habit of choosing alternative versions of reality, which puts them in the light most enchanting, than those that might arise if it would look in their own magnificence. Others that have an innate but to falsify reality. And very many lying in a disease, a helplessness, of guilt. I have the gift to detect damage and excruciating lies immediately to others, and that makes me hate unleashed deep. Humbles me and makes me powerless, because they know that beyond the mystification, no conversation is no longer possible, no request no longer finds an echo. But many people find the excuse to lie. "I lie because ..." and then smiling serenely.

No, I think it is better not to lie. If you lie you will get caught out and then you have to lie again to get yourself out of the first lie. I think it is much better to be honest with your friends and partner don't you agree?
