Lying - Do it (Sometimes)!
Everyone lies, its a natural thing that many individual do. Some people even lie without noticing that they're the ones that are lying. Don't get me wrong, lying is a sucky thing, but sometimes its a thing that needs to be done.
Many people lie about little things, which is really not needed. You shouldn't lie to someone about yourself. You should always say the truth, and if someone doesn't like you for the truth, then they aren't needed in your life.
It is permissible to lie to save your life or the life of someone else. Extremes like that make it okay to lie! Below is from a scene from the show Grey's Anatomy, where Dr. Miranda Bailey lies to a shooter stating that she was a nurse to save her life.
Its also okay to lie just to protect someones innocence. For example, telling little children that santa, the tooth fairy, and the easter bunny are real.
And everyones favorite, "Where do babies come from?"
These would be the ideal times that people would lie. Anything else other than these are inexcusable. Theres close to no reason to speak countless lies just to make yourself feel any better.
