In friendship,trust must be the key to stay friends. I don’t make friends with who is always not honest to me for their own sake. But I also think that some lies is not always the bad thing.sometimes it can bring benefit to friendship. The things happen to me proved that.
I borrowed a DVD from a friend, unfortunately my niece played with it and broke When he came to me for giving it back,so I lied to her and said were not done watching it yet, until I bought a replacement, same as what i borrowed her, I just gave her a big smile and thank you when I returned it to her, It seems nothing happen:)
how bout you my friends have you done the same? feel free to share your stories with me:)

I completely agree, sometimes lies are ok. White lies I call them. That are to protect someones feelings. And so long as the white lies are between you and that person and don’t involve a 3rd person.. I would say its ok. If its for the best.

Yeah, I think lying sometimes have positive results.If you thought that telling the truth will make your friend or any person angry it's better left unsaid. Telling lies to cover up a mistake could also be beneficial to both parties.Like what you did when you replaced the DVD that was broken, because you anticipated that your friend will get angry in case you did tell her the truth so no harm done.

so true some times lies in friendship is OK. for example this one time people were talking about my friends back ,and he was very sensitive he cry too quick, so I had to say to him they are not taking about you, it must be someone else it was a lie but it helped my fired.

hi:)
yes what you did was right, if the truth will only hurt her feelings then it's better to tell lie's.I think there's nothing wrong with white lies though.
thank you for your comment friend:)

hi:)
yes that's true it's not that good if you do it often, but if you're doing it because you dont want to hurt someone then perhaps its acceptable, rather than see someone get angry or hurt from the truth. thank you for your comment cindy:)

Yes there are times that lying is good. You lie because if you tell the truth some worst things might happen. This is what we call "White Lie". I lie also a lot of times, but mostly I'm lying because it's for the greater good.

Yes your definitely right flowerfest. For me I call it white lies, to lie is a sin already. But there were situations on which we must have to. I experienced that already, my Boss give me an errand I must have to go to one of the widest communication service center to inquire for his Bill. But since I forgot, the next day I report to the office I just told him the there was a technical problem on their system that's why I wasn't able to inquire. And he believed on it. Just so thankful at that time he didn't notice I lied.
