Beneficial Lying

Have you ever told a lie that ended up being beneficial? Some lies are created and told in order to protect someone and it ends up being a positive thing. Although lying is never seen as a good aspect of life, protective lies can end up being good. Protective lies can be not telling someone a secret just because you know it will hurt them or something more complex. These lies are absolutely and completely planned. They are created by the liar during a stage of confusion. The liar does not know if they should tell the person and risk their relationship and hurt them or keep it to themselves to save a lot of heartache and pain. Usually in this predicament, the liar chooses to hide it. They choose the easy way out and most times, it works, but other times it does not. Sometimes, the person being lied to finds out about this little lie and the situation gets much more difficult. The person that got lied to is very angry that the liar kept something from them. They are frustrated that the liar would do such a thing to them. But most of all, the person feels betrayed. In the end, some lies can be beneficial, but there is a lot of risk that goes along with lies that are created to protect someone.
