Is dishonesty ever justifiable? Why or Why not?

give specific examples
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think dishonesty is justifiable in the case of little white lies that do not cause harm to others or yourself. Small lies that do not permanently destroy trust and are merely used to appease a non-life changing situation are okay; this is especially true if telling the truth would cause more damage than good.

Examples of little white lies:
-Telling your children that Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny exists
-Telling your girlfriend that she is not fat when she asks your opinion
-Telling your friend that you forgot her birthday present (when you actually didn't get a chance to get one for her but absolutely intend to before the next time you see her)

I wonder the same thing every time Christmas roles around and I remind my little ones that Santa is coming to town. I think that in some ways it is justifiable but it doesn't make me feel any better about it.
