Sometimes, telling lie is important however, it is still wrong. But sometimes you need to protect the feeling of others and telling a lie is sometimes necessary. They called it white lies.

it may be important to lie but the fact that its a lie it will never be considered as good. there's a good way of saying the truth that will not hurt the feelings. at first i agree of the idea of white lie, it may be consider also in some instances but later i realize that white lie is still a lie in the sense that one way the its better to say nothing in order not to hurt other's than saying a lie that most of us did.

Sometimes we lie to make things better, we have what we call 'white lies'. But it is still a lie. I think telling the truth is something and telling a lie for a valid reason is also another thing.

a lie will never make any situation better. the better way is to say the truth. the act of not telling the truth may not always be the valid reason.

I think, on the whole, lying is wrong and unnecessary. It just causes more trouble than if you'd just tell the truth. However, there might be times when it is deemed acceptable to tell a "white" lie. For example, if the intention is so as not to hurt someone, providing that the lie wouldn't be exposed and end up doing more harm than good.
I don't think it is necessary to lie but, on very rare occasions, it might be the easiest or wisest option.

I think I agree with you. There is what they called white lie and this is to protect someone or something else. It maybe a sin to lie sometimes but we need to do that for the interest of others. Because if don't do that our love ones will be hurt and maybe in danger...

You complicate your happiness by lying. It takes so much effort because then you have to always what you said and how you said. Far too much work to spare someone's feelings. And, you're truly being helpful to that person or persons anyway. Therefore, lying really isn't necessary. It's restrictive and mentally labor intensive!
