A kind lie
In our daily lives, we all hate people who lie to you. We often regard those who tell lies out of some ulterior motive associated with something bad and consider those people as being dishonest and persons who cannot be trusted. But not all lies are out of indecent motive and all "liers" are bad persons. On certain occasions, out of necessity, we simply cannot tell the truth but have to lie with good rather than bad intentions. To "lie with good intentions" is very common and almost all of us have done it. In evaluating another person, we
more than often do not tell the truth or speak out what we truly think about the other person for purposes of trying not to hurt the feelings of the person being evaluated. Even though s/he looks ugly, we often tend to lie to her or him. "You look great!" "You are so pretty/handsome." In essence, in judging the nature of lies, we need to determine the intentions behind the lies, some with bad intentions and some with good intentions, and we should judge people who tell lies accordingly.
在我们的日常生活中，我们都讨厌那些对你撒谎的人。我们经常把那些讲出来的人与一些不好的东西联系在一起，把那些人看成是不诚实的人，而那些不被信任的人。但并不是所有的谎言都是出于下流的动机和所有的“人”是不好的人。在某些情况下，出于需要，我们根本无法说出真相，但必须说谎，而不是恶意的意图。“
善意的谎言”是很常见的，几乎所有的人都这样做了。在评价别人时，我们往往不说出真相，或说出我们真正的想法，认为对方是为了不伤害别人的感情而被评价。即使他/他看起来很丑，我们也常倾向于对她撒谎。”你看起来很棒！”你真漂亮/英俊，“在本质上，在判断谎言的本质，我们需要确定的意图背后的谎言，有些人与坏的意图和一些有着良好的意图，我们应该判断谁告诉的人是相应的。
