I'm sure you all have heard of white lies before. They said that these types of lies won't hurt anybody, but is it true? If someone ask you if she looks good in a wedding dress that she's wearing, and you don't really think so, but she's only like a moment away from stepping in the altar, would you lie? You know that it'll ruin everything if you tell her the truth. So i lied (this is a real story btw). What do you have to say about this?

The whole world is full of white lies the country is probably run on white lies. I don't think it was bad to tell your friend that even though you didn't like the dress she did and that is all that really counts is that she likes it and that she is happy about her dress. I think that everyone everyday tells little white lies otherwise how would we get through a day?

Luckily, i told her that she looks great and that she shouldn't be worry about a thing. I'm glad that i've told her that, if it's my wedding day, i would want my friend to do the same thing...:p

I for one really hate lying, but there's just those moments when you cannot help but lie just to save yourself some excuses and stuff. haha.. But bottomline it still is not okay to lie.

White lies are unreasonable if it is done to hurt or condemn others. But if it is to heal or save one's life, then for me it is not only reasonble but unforgivable as well.

I hate when people put me on the spot with a question like that. When you were asked that question, she probably wasn't asking for you to tell her no. In that case you more than likely did the right thing. But in some instances, little white lies can balloon into bigger lies.

Its ok now and then, but making a habit of it will only lead to upset.
