“Do not tell lie” are the words that most parents teach to the children. But, in some occasions, adults also, speak lies to the people they meet. It is not adults wish to speak lies, but, due to a special circumstance, they are forced to speak lie.
The former American President, Abraham Lincoln said: “No one has a good memory to be a successful Liar.” It is, indeed, that we are unable to remember what we have said if we spoke a lie or lies.
Therefore, we should not speak lie as a matter of principle. But, in a certain situation, we have to speak lie for protection of ourself.
We have our privacy, but many people wish to know our private life. In such a case, we had better to keep our mouth close. No answer is the best answer. Or if we are forced to reply, we must say an unharmful lie to the people in that occasion.
Because nowadays many people wish to know the private affairs of other people, especially the famous people. That is why there are many small newspapers which purpose is to disclose the personal life of famous people. Such news from small newspapers is based on a little truth, plus a lot of lies, to attract readers to read their newspaper.
