The White Lie

A white lie can be referred to as many different things. In the story, it goes to say that a white lie can go from telling your friend she looks good when really she doesn't just because it might be more convenient for a compliment at the time, from telling a soliders family, he's missing when really he's dead. Keeping a family in that much torment for so long is just ridiculous. Things happen, people die. They couldn't move on because they said he had been missing. Would you want someone to do that to you? Absolutely not. On the other hand a white lie that I think would be reasonable at the right time would be like she said, there was traffic when really she was just tired and didn't make it to work on time. Those are okay, life is always gonna get in the way of things you have to do, and sometimes we just have to find a way aorund those minior stressors.

I think in some cases a white lie is okay, it still makes you an honest person. Some lies like the one about the death is wrong to me, because you shouldn't put a family through emotion like that, when something that drastic happens, you should be straight up. Sometimes when you think about it, a white lie is okay at times, for the reasons she stated in the paragraph about it, for example, when she said sometimes when you don't lie you can have major consequences if you were to say the truth, but at the same time I also think that your actions decide your consequences. If you can't handle it, don't do it. If you you don't want something, say no. Don't just lie about it event he smallest lies, because everyone hates being lied too, I know that for a fact.
