I have always tried to tell the truth but when the truth will bring war then a lie for peace is what is needed. No, I didn’t catch that spider but if I told you that you never would have went to sleep. Yes, that dress makes you look fat but the facts would only make you feel uncomfortable going to the party. Lying for peace doesn’t grow my nose (it’s already big enough) yet instead keep it from being punched in (figuratively and sometimes literally) for the truth can be too hard for some to swallow so a little lie goes down much easier.
