I have a different view on lying, it depends on what the lie is and why that person believes they have to lie. For example the lie of Santa, toothfariy etc. They are lies that parents tell there children to keep them well behaved and in control. These lies to me are not there to harm anyone, but if its a lie about something that has harmed a individual for example a murder, cheating on a partner etc. These are lies that need to be told because they are harming another individual.
