Journal Entry #31

Is it ever okay to lie?

Telling the truth can be difficult when we know it might hurt someone's felling. Sometimes telling a small lie might seem like the easiest thing to do. A lie is a common thing that people usually say without awareness. At that time, lying is not good, sometimes bad. For an example, when your mother ask you whether you go to school or not? You nearly immediately answer that you have just returned home from school although the fact is that you have been absent from class. That are bad words because you just want to protect yourself. Besides, in some circumstances, people had better hide the truth. Sometimes, the truth is not needed to say or not to be allowed to show. The reasons are that you want to make someone happy or just a kidding in a talk. The most important thing is that you must be aware what you say, that might hurt someone's felling or not. Anyway, in my opinion, it is ever okay to lie that is still lie and can damage a trusting relationship.
