Extract

What determines the size of lies? If lies are those concern matters of small consequence, are told to just a few people, are excusable they are intended to achieve some more important goal, like paring someone's feeling. I had a very good discussion for quite a while on this topic. Most people agree that for saving a life lying is okay, and sometimes it is necessary. There are many different opinions on other situations, such as if the truth would hurt someone's feeling or insult them. Normally, I lie to avoid something bad that will hurt someone or make other people in trouble.
