Do you lie to friends?

[brwneydgirl]

I'd say lying is always wrong, and it would take a really tricky and bad situation to justify it.

I think 'little white lies' are a pestilence.

thir, I usually agree with your posts but I have to disagree strongly with this one....."lying is always wrong"...yikes.

Oz makes a great example in his post about answering, "Fine, thanks..." to the new client.

And would you honestly want to hear someone say, "Actually thir, you look like bloody hell, very tired, like you've just been sick and gained 20 lbs." when you ask them if they like your new hat?

Like I said before, should we run around lying constantly...no. But a small (read: harmless---and it's a personal choice what you find to be a harmless lie) lie of omission or "white" lie can make life more bearable for the liar *and* the person being lied to.

BTW, I love your hat...and have you lost weight?
