This is my entry to the Hive Learners weekly contest.
Inasmuch as no things and actions that are bad are bad, some can still be justifiable. One thing is that a sin is really a sin and should be addressed as such. But it being coated as a white lie does not make it any different from still being what it is.
Nothing but the truth should always be said by us all, no matter the situation. We might think that when we lie, it might save us at the moment, but one thing is that it might save us at that very moment, but saying nothing but the very truth would save us forever. We know that everyone really has their own point of view in all situations, and as an Igbo adage, uche onye adighi ya njo. People's minds are not wrong to them; no matter how awful it might seem to others, they would still believe in their own view. Even they might change, but at the moment they are already stuck to their own decisions. Lying is still lying no matter white, pink, yellow, or the color at the point in time in which we might want to give it.
Oh yes, people, there might be consequences that might arise from telling someone the truth, but don't we know or believe that saying nothing but the truth is very good and more important?
To me, what might be good but still wrong is opening up later on. Maybe when that furiousness in the person might have calmed down. In a situation where a person is with a weapon and very, very angry and still making an inquiry if you took a precious thing in which he is looking for. In the long run, if you eventually took it and opened up, you would be forgiven. What if the person now wants to hit you up with that particular thing? What if you are injured? There are things in which one might lie. To me, in as much as you said the key, you should still go back and tell the person that you are the one, maybe later on when the person is calm already.
In a relationship with one another, a question arises from the other if you do this or not. No matter the moment, I don't think one is supposed to lie; just tell him or her nothing but the very truth. He or she still might come around for good, because what if you now leave and still open up later on, and the person now takes you as a kid, in which might not be trusted?
That in particular might be thenly one, but you now can't even explain it even if the person might already be having another thought.
Nothing but the truth should always be said by us all, and we should always do that.
We keep hoping for the very best
