Lies

A lie would always be a lie, it would hurt more if you continue to lie and not tell the truth it would always be bad and have a bad effect. Have you lied to someone just to protect them? Have you lied just to help yourself? Have you lied just to take revenge and just to make you feel good? As we know there are two types of lies "white lies" lies you'd use for the sake of helping someone, usually the effects is harmless and "black lies" lies that are of evil intentions and usually are used to take revenge and not beneficial for both sides.

I suck at lying, it would most likely be obvious if you are an expert in lying, maybe people like my parents could be fooled with that, and usually my lies are minor. I hate being lied at so I  never lie. Only in some circumstances. A few months back we read this book called kite runner, it's a really nice example of lying for the sake of saving and helping the one you care about, there are also some cases in the story where you hate the main character because he lies only to make himself happy, in return gains guilt and hatred. 

I'd be lying if I said i'm okay... Sometime I get annoyed with my friends and when I get full of their pranks I'd lie just to be in good terms with them - compromising for the sake of peace. Even when its obvious that I'm not okay, just to keep that peace i'd lie and pretend everything is alright even if it's not.

I don't know if I'm right, correct me if I'm wrong from the book kite runner, the main characters father said the worst sin was stealing. If you lie you steal the persons right for justice, if you kill a person, you steal that persons family's right for happiness. If you cheat, you steal a spouses right for the truth and happiness and so on. The main point is that if stealing was one big sin then lying is another right? But that doesn't mean it's avoidable, sometimes there are times you have to lie for the better. But lying isn't supposed to be tolerated if its not used for a good reason.
