Are you saying you've never lied? And remember how in school you made up a believable lie about why you didn't do your homework.

And how in college you told your boyfriend that you couldn't continue your relationship because you were single you don't suit one, and the whole thing was that he was shorter than you, but you didn't want to offend him with that, which is a reason to break up. You will agree that it was a lie for good. In the first case – for you, in the second case – for another person.

It turns out that sometimes there are situations when it is better to lie than to tell the truth. And you will be fine, and others will not be harmed. For convenience and emotional comfort, we will replace the word “lie” with “tell the truth.” It sounds better that way.

The pillow was already very soft, and the blanket was warm. But as a result, you won't be fired because of a little lie that didn't hurt anyone. But everything is good in moderation. Can't you call an ambulance for your neighbor every other day.

In response to his question, how long did you have before him

That's right, in case of fire. Everything happens in life. No one will feel bad if you hide some facts. And if you think that you will feel bad, then think about him. How will it be better for him? What truth would he like to know? As much as it will be good for him, so much will be good for you. You don't want to say that you can feel happy when your loved one is worried about something.

To the question of the tax inspectorate: “How much did you earn?”
