White Lies
We all tell lies. Actually, lying is pat of our daily life. Apart from those lies which make us feel guilty, there are some kinds of lies that we can tell without any bad feelings. The most common kind may be white lies.
White lies are the lies not meant to hurt anybody. People think they are so marginal and harmless that they are acceptable and even necessary on some occasions. As far as I am concerned, white lies can be divided into five categories.
The first kind is used to show that you are friendly. “Nice to meet you!” or “I’ll miss you!” Everyone knows that these words are meaningless and nobody takes them seriously. But we still use them as the lubricating oil for our social life.
The second is the ones we tell when we decline requests or invitations. They are quite useful and necessary I think. Few people would tell the truth like “I won’t go because birthday parties are boring and stupid” instead of making up an excuse that they can not go because of something important.
The third is those to please somebody, cheer somebody up or encourage somebody. You may tell a forty-year-old lady that she is just like thirty. You may encourage a young man that he or she will be successful and famous in the future even though you do not believe. This kind of can bring some benefits to people and some of the benefits can beyond your imagine.
The fourth is the lies which can calm the people who are lied to. Do you ever calmed your guest that the broken vast which had cost you a lot was worthless? Do you ever told your parents on the phone that you are safe and sound when your sprained ankle is aching? People who tell those lies can be thought of considerate. The last one is the lies which people tell just to say something. They are more like stories or jokes. Such as “I caught an one-meter-long fish yesterday. ”or “I had a classmate who never done his homework.”
Those are all I want to say about white lies. Should we tell them? Some people may say no because they think that white lies are still lies and the truth is always the better while other people think that in human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. What do you think?
