Everyone tells lies at some point in their life, most people tell little white lies in order to make their friends feel better about themselves, I personally think sometimes there is nothing wrong with that because you’re not exactly harming anyone and not being bad, however when does lying actually become bad? Some people known as pathological liars, who tell lies constantly and have no regard for the feelings of others is where lying that was small can turn into a big problem. Lying is a common thing in todays society and noone likes a liar! The worse thing is when people develop problems and actually cause problems. While researching I found an intresting article which i have posted below that states that people often lie in order to protect others, for example, lying to protect a murderer's intended victim and lying to save oneself from death or serious injury, suggesting that this type of lying is not bad because it stops harm from occuring. The website also discusses the extent to which lying is bad and most importantly this link shows philosopher’s view on lying as well.
