Lying is bad behaviour. But are various lie’s acceptable? ones called ‘white lie’s’? I consider a person who is fully aware that they often find themselves telling lie’s is being bad. Why go through life telling lies and the person you are telling them too will properly be able to tell your lying and it really does you no favours.
Some lies I have to say are acceptable, for instance if you are trying to protect someone from being hurt, then not telling them the whole truth is the nicest way to be.
If you are preparing a surprise for someone then telling them lies about where or what you’ve been up to is not bad because its all for a good cause.
** The lies that are bad are the ones where there is no justifiable reason for you to be telling that lie.
** The lies that are extremely bad are when told in court or other situations where you are really going to get in trouble with the law for your lies.
** The one lie that we have all used at some point and is a lie that I consider not to be bad at all is ‘Father Christmas’.
** A truthful person can find themselves drawn into the lying game, when embarking in an affair, where the lies are to cover up their infidelity.
** If a person chooses to tell lies for what ever reason, then they will have to deal with the judgements and consequence of their behaviour. People will distrust a liar and distance them selves from them. They often get caught up in their own web of lies, that it becomes hard work.
Can we detect a person telling a lie? Read the interesting research from the link, although it’s a little long, its extremely informative, and notes that people are not as good at detecting lies as they think.

Diana’ Inquest - Paul Burrell is suspected of lying whilst under oath, stories like this will ruin his reputation and the article also suggest that the head of security had also lied, so it seems that the truth may never come out.
