IT IS RIGHT TO OFFER WHITE LIE TO SOMEONE WHEN YOU KNEW THAT THE TRUTH WILL HURT THEIR

FEELINGS?

A white lie is a well-intentioned- untruth. It is usually a small, deliberate and harmless fibroid,
often done to spare someone's feelings and to do no harm- its intention is to produce favorable results.
I, on the other hand, dis-agree to the idea of offering a white lie to comfort someone. Lies can utterly
change the landscape of a relationship and make it uninhabitable for one or both parties.

White lies can create some complexities. White lies can initiate mistrust/distrust between the
relationship. When distrust comes into a relationship, it is very difficult to restore what we feel for the
other person again. Once we begin to distrust, the secret battles begin. Hidden actions and hidden
suspicions. Without trust, it is very difficult for your relationship to grow. Worse still, your relationship
may feel chaotic, unpredictable and full of drama. A lack of trust in a relationship opens the door to a
host of other problems which, is left unresolved, may destroy whatever is left.

It is better to confront someone with the truth even if it will hurt their feelings than to comfort
them with a lie. Telling them the truth can make a big difference, yes, sometimes it is boastful and
hurtful but truth is always been appreciated by many. For others to change themselves they need first to
accept the truth. Telling someone the truth even if you know it will hurt them shows that you are willing
to take responsibility for your actions. Lying shows nothing of one sorts.

A lie is a lie. When does white lie become good? White lie are actually not good at all. It is better to
offer the truth than offering a white lie because sometimes white lies can cause more damage than the
pure lie. You can't correct any mistake by doing another mistake. Lying destroys human connection.

We've been asked a question in which we provide a not-so-honest response in an effort to be kind.
Sometimes it's to protect feelings, sometimes it's to protect our own ego. The biggest problem with
white lie is that we often need to continue to create more and more lies to cover the tracks of our
original lies. It is better to offer the truth than to offer a white lie because "GOD SEES EVERYTHING AND
REVEALS EVERYTHING".
