If it's First You Don't Succeed; Lie, Lie Again..

I'm not suggesting nor promoting liars by this post instead my argument is that sometimes there are those verities which should remain unsaid.

There are sometimes such circumstances where unwillingly you have to say things which aren't necessarily true. Is it morally wrong? perhaps, should you then tell the truth instead? weight it out and then decide.
I used to be a person who hated liars and lies and despite of the reasonings behind that lie, I destroyed a lot. My friend then use to tell me that sometimes one truth can destroy worlds while one lie can save a life, in that case which one would you go for..and that used to make me think, but Lie is a lie, its wrong because I have been brought up with this perception or rather this fact.

Often the question in such complicated situations is would I lie or tell the truth and if I go with the truth, would I be ready to face the consequences which follows the truth? and if I lie, can I live with the guilt?

Unfortunately, I also had situations where speaking the truth would destroy lives and a lie would save it all and I went with the lie and spoke it again and again till I made it sound convincing. Guilty? Very much...Happy? Some what. Regret for lying ? No.

Moral of the story: Yes you might claim that you don't lie and have sworn to speak nothing but the truth but come on, look around you, a truth that can bring lives crumbling down is worse than a lie which can save lives and relationships.

p.s. never lie unless its the ONLY means of saving someone from getting hurt. I wish when I was in this situation someone out there would have written something like this for me.
