Is it permissible to lie? If so, when? If not, why not?


           It’s not good to lie at all. In reality lying is bad. Although, under some circumstances where it won’t hurt to lie a little bit, it would be permissible. If it’s appropriate enough to give a little “white lie”, then do it. But if it’s a lie that’s going to lead to another lie and so on, it’s definitely going to catch up with you.  Lies are never good, because it always comes back to bite you in the ass if you don’t remember which you probably won’t since it’s not the truth. If someone gets hurts by the truth they have to face reality, because lying always comes back around like karma. Therefore, it’s not good to lie back to bac, because then you’re going to get caught in a big lie. If you find yourself in a situation where you lied but it causes you to lie further, then you should just stop there. There might be a situation that after some time passes, a person asks you about something you lied about and you might forget and then you get caught in a lie. It causes people to not trust in you and may cause you to lose relationships with people due to it. Lying can take over you because you’ll find every situation an “appropriate” situation to lie in, and that’s not good. It might start with a white lie, but that little lie can consume you. Therefore, it’s not right to lie at all, if a person can’t take the truth then that’s up to them. A little lie to spare someone’s feelings might become a bad habit but it’s not always bad, because you obviously don’t want to lie to someone close to you. Just remember that there’s a limit to lying. That’s just my opinion about whether it's permissible or not to lie.
