Recently, we had a class discussion about whether it is necessary to tell white lies. Our opinions are divided.
Many people believe that we need tell some white lies in some moments in our life in order to avoid hurting others' feelings. However, others argue that no one should tell lies, no matter what kind of lies. They insist that everybody should know the truth about himself in any case. A white lie is essentially a lie. People may feel cheated when knowing the truth eventually.
As far as I am concerned, when we tell a white lie, we had better take into consideration what the occasion at that time is and what the consequence brought by it is.

Dear Anne,
I'm sorry to hear that you feel depressed now. What's a white lie? For instance, when someone cooks a meal for us that we dislike, we lie and say that the food is delicious. That is a white lie.

perhaps he wants some comments from you so that he can make himself improved gradually. But you may give him some encouragement and build up his confidence by telling a white lie. Besides, we may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news. Therefore, we may find white lies are well-intended.
So why not smile at a white lie?
Yours,
