Lying is something considered  unethical on social and moral grounds. A lie may lead you to severe consequences in the near future, no matter how much it serves your present joy. Lying is no less than a form of deception, yet we have all  lied atleast once in our lifetime. We may or may not be able to be truthful, or there would’ve been circumstances where we couldn’t confront something.. On the contrary, if we practically ponder whether it’s acceptable to lie or not, the answer is solely dependent on the situation we are in. For example, lying for someone’s good. It could be a mischievous child, to whom we might lie about something nonexistent, just so that the child would behave well. Ofcourse it’s acceptable to lie in such a scenario! But, lying to deceive someone or something, falsifyingly accusing someone or something are unacceptable – on any ground. We always have an option to either say what’s true or lie. It’s our choice if we self-reflect on what’s the best option to do.
