Innocent white lies…not so innocent all the time.
“A little lie can travel halfway ’round the world while Truth is still lacing up her boots.” — Mark Twain.
White lies are often justified as a means to protect feelings or maintain social harmony. They are a common part of human interaction, reflecting our desire to be kind or avoid conflict.
However, the implications of even small lies can lead to a slippery slope, where the boundaries of honesty become blurred. As noted by various authors, the act of lying, even in small doses, can complicate relationships and trust. They can comfort or beguile temporarily but in the end truth will spell out itself like sunshine pierces the darkness.
We have tried to concentrate on those small bothers or pain which force to create or believe in a white lie.
..after all white lie is nothing but our worry , our pride and a desire to protect those we love most.
Hope you will enjoy the assemble.
