chosen.content: White lies are sometimes necessary to spare someone's feelings, protect a confidentiality, or keep peace. The key to getting away with a white lie is to be honest and upfront about what you are doing, and to avoid telling lies that can have serious negative consequences. Honesty, sincerity, and compassion can often make it easy for people to forgive minor fabrications. It is also important to avoid lying if someone has trusted you and counted on you to be truthful. Lastly, make sure the lie doesn't become a habit and is an occasional practice rather than a regular occurrence.

rejected.content: It is important to understand the reason why you are lying before you tell a white lie. Are you lying to protect someone's feelings? Are you lying to spare someone's embarrassment? Being mindful of why you are telling the lie will help you judge whether or not the outcome is worth it. It is also important to be prepared for the potential consequences - if you are caught in a lie, you might have to come up with an explanation or an alternative solution. Ultimately, it comes down to judgment: think through the consequence of your words and action before you say it.
