The Ways We Lie

Is it ok to lie? What type of lies?

This article is written by Stephanie Ericsson which has grabbed the thoughts with the full descriptions and personal instances. This particular essay defines the several lies which are regular in practice by many of the people. She has mentioned that dishonesty is a cover-up for guilt, hurt, pain and ignorance. But it is essential to glance over that what falsehood does to move in the life? It is not necessary that all lies are intentionally stated for hurting a person. There are certain events in which dishonesty is the best practice to overcome the situation. In her essay of Ericsson, she does not deal with this point but she basically portrays several lies that people are the part of daily routine. She mentions that telling a truth all the times are impossible for a person. Ericsson presents her point of view that there are some delicate lies which do not hurt the person but it can be spoken for their happiness. For instance, if your friend has cooked something for you and you truth says that you are not hungry at this time; it might hurt that person. She uses the white lie which presumes that the truth would root more damage than an undamaging simple untruth. This kind of lies are not considered as sin or ethically wrong. The overall conception of the author defines that it is ok to lie on some situation where truth can hurt someone's heart but not on every situation.
