Graham said that” in human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths”. I think he means that in most time telling a white lie is better than tell the truth. Lies have been recognized as a synonym for cheating and hypocrisy and lies are often held in contempt. However, sometimes we need lies in real life, because a white lie can give one comfort and encouragement. If a seriously ill patient, on hearing your while lie, can refresh himself to fight against the illness, don’t you think your lie is meaningful? Someone insist that white lies are lies after all. It’s dishonest to tell even white lies. But I think it doesn’t matter. To be honest is to make our society more harmonious, to a better development of the society. In this way, white lies accord with the purpose of honesty. Sometimes we need white lies to keep peace. For example, if a woman buys a skirt with hundreds of money, when her husband’s mother asked how much it cost, it’s better for her to tell a white lie, or her mother in low would may be unhappy for her luxury. And sometimes we also tell white lies to protect someone. If a girl, just like me tries her best to lose weight, but she is still very fat, it’s better for you to say you are very lovely or you really get thinner rather than tell her the truth, “you have put on weight again.” Anyway I think white lies are necessary in our lives. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/fa177148be1e650e52ea991b.html
