In Response to Misty's Question

I believe that the world wouldn't be any better if everybody told the truth one hundred percent of the time. Though it would be ideal, the perfect world where nobody ever lies, it is unlikely. Similar to what was discussed in class, I believe that absolute truth would be a double-edged sword. On the one side it would eliminate the distrust that comes with lying but it would also lead to harsh opinions about people and respective things. The only plausible way I could see absolute truth work would be if every person in the world was politically correct, and we all know that will never happen.

So, a question...is it possible that lying from time to time can be good for people and their relationships?
