Is lying always bad?

 

There are two answers for this question. Whatever may be the answer, it should be justified for its strength. Lying is not a criminal act even though it may be serious. If a person chooses to tell a lie for a better thing, it may be admitted in spite of its serious nature. If damage is caused with a bad intention to the good name of a person or a concern or a property, it cannot be borne with patience. Alternatively, when a person comes forward to tell one or two lying words in the interest of a genuine person in danger and genuine property at risk, it is admissible. So, it is an undeniable fact that lying is not always harmful. It is so only when it is for bad consequences with bad intention.

 

 Definitely, lying for good things is harmless. It is not punishable in view of the purpose behind it for a good thing.
