In moral terms, honesty is without doubt a virtue, and dishonesty is a vice.

But in social terms, absolute honesty can lead to trouble, risking causing offense to others who may not want or need to hear the complete truth. White lies may be desirable.

And in biological terms, dishonesty is a sign of typical brain development, whereas someone who is incapable of dishonesty may be neurologically atypical.

Yeah a lie is a lie. Saying its white is meant to make us feel less bad.

A harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

Hmmm ok. How do you know when someone wants the truth or wants their feelings spared with a lie?

Almost everyone almost all of the time wants their feelings spared.

The invention of lying was a pretty interesting movie, I mean obviously they have to reach a bit for entertainment sake but the concept and execution was worth the watch!

OMG yes. That's me with almonds, or an extra little spoonful of frozen yogurt.
