Journal Entry #31

Generally telling a lie is said to be a bad thing. Whether it is on the purpose of good or bad, telling a lie isn't recommended in any situation. But sometimes one must do that. There is a person who has a severe diesase. If he/she would not rather know the fact for his/her mental stability, his/her family don't tell about it to that patient. There is another example.
A man who is in despair needs hearty consolation. A friend or family who give a consolation to him, although they are not sure that his situations get better, they must console him to recover his mood of despair. So sometimes it is helpful to some people to tell a lie. But in that case it has no harmful effect except a consolation.
