A white lie or lie of hypocrite?

Since our childhood time our elders always inspire us to tell the truth all the time and not to tell lies. Lying is a sin and it was never encouraged by anyone but almost all of us tell lies for various reasons. Sometimes we do it to protect ourselves and sometimes we do it for selfish reasons and sometimes it can be done considering something good in return. A lie is indeed a lie and there is also one kind of lie that is being told for the overall good and we tell acknowledge it as a white lie. Suppose our mother told us to eat food otherwise ghosts would come and it was a white lie as it was done for good of us and to eat well and healthily.

If there are no negative consequences of a lie or little negative consequences for greater benefit of a lie we consider it as a white lie. Sometimes we do it intentionally and sometimes it can be unintentional. Is it a good thing? Do you think that telling a white lie is acceptable? If it’s acceptable, then who is the determiner of that a lie is a white lie? Is it an easy thing to determine?

In my opinion if there is guarantee that a lie has no negative consequences or little negative but acceptable consequences it can be considered as a good life or white lie, but it should have good consequences at the end in long run. It’s unfortunate that in very few cases anyone can guarantee there will be no negative consequences of a lie. Most of the so-called white lies are actually the thought of the person who is telling the lie. The person just finds an excuse to cover the biased opinion of the person by marking it as white lie. I believe that in only few cases there is the existence of white lies and the other so called white lies are just the lies told by hypocrites. You must be thinking why I used the word hypocrites. It’s because it’s why they think good for others but in reality, it’s not necessarily true. I have seen many situations where parents tell lies to the children, considering it white life, but it actually destroyed the good future of their children. So, those parents were hypocrites and ended up harming their children.

In my case I am someone who doesn’t need to lie usually because I don’t care about the opinion of others and I am not accountable to give answer to anyone about my actions unless it’s reasonable. I just can avoid anyone and if a truth hurts anyone, I don’t hesitate to tell it as I feel that harsh truth is quite good. The people who know me and care about me will understand it well and if anyone is not ready to accept it, they are allowed to go out from my life. Getting out of my life won’t make any huge difference in my life as I know myself well. I think unless it was for fun purpose I didn’t tell a lie in recent days and I can’t remember any of it when I told lies let alone white lies. Even if I told lies I wouldn’t tag it as a white lie either.
