Adults teach their children from a Young age that it is wrong to tell a lie. However, as adults they often find that they need to avoid telling the truth to avoid hurting somebody’s feelings.
Small lies to protect other people’s feelings are an everyday part of life. When friends ask for your opinion, they sometimes want reassurance, not honest criticism. Most people tell lies all the time, without feeling guilty or inmoral.
It is true that there are people whe refuse to lie, even if telling the truth is unpopular. These people always speak their mind, and they don’t matter how insensitive other people might find them. Their friends usually accept this as part of their personality, and maye ven admire it.
So, I think that for most of us, honesty is the best when it comes to important matters. However, lies are frequent and necessary part of our social life.
