What is more important?

Being completely honest, or lying sometimes in order to keep certain things hidden (for any number of reasons)?

    As long as you have a good reason, lying isn’t a bad idea. Often, a little lie leaves everyone happier, so why not take advantage of that?

    The most important thing is being kind and good. If you focus on that, the other question takes care of itself. And if you are NOT kind and good, neither your truth or your lies will make up for it.

    i just graded 240 practice SAT essays answering this very question. according to korean high school students, lying’s okay if your motivations are good.

    and now the more interesting question–why do you ask?
