White Lie Is Better Than Never Lie

White Lie Is Better Than Never Lie

“To lie or not to lie, that is the question”. It’s appropriate to quote the Shakespeare’s famous proverb “To be or not to be, that is the question.”

Sometimes, it’s difficult to decide whether telling lies is right or not, but one thing that can be sure is telling white lie is superior to never lie. That is to say telling lies is not always wrong, instead, it can turn out to be a wonderful thing.

My grandmother’s youngest sister, who died of cancer several years ago, makes almost all of her sisters and brothers sorrow-stricken except for her oldest sister who suffers from severe disease. As the matter of fact, the oldest sister is kept from any sad news about the youngest sister because her relatives are afraid that their oldest sister’s disease will deteriorate if she knows the truth. When the oldest sister asks why her youngest sister does not come to visit her. Her relatives will answer that “She is busy now, and before long she will come to visit you’’. She seemed to see a gleam of hope and a trace of pleasure every time she hears that.

Another case is about my neighborhood who suffered from lung cancer. I remember that when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, everybody surrounded her just told her that she just cough a heavy cold and they also comforted her not to be worried. Since that time, she looked happier than before and she just stayed with her grandson in the sunshine every day. Except that she would be tormented by the pain sometimes, in most of the time, she was serene and content about the current life. Finally, she could not escape from the torment of lung cancer, but she did live a carefree life at her old age.

White lie is the most beautiful lie in the world, our mood, our values and even our fate will sometimes be influenced or changed by it.
