Topic #41: When (if ever) is it okay to lie? Select your choice from below: to protect someone's feelings, when no one's looking, about my age, when I feel like it, never, or other: to protect self!

Lying has to originate from somewhere – and that is from the self! The ego is very strong to defend itself from untruth – the truth that doesn't make sense. Those that would disagree is met with something quite formidable. Lying preserves sanity, too. Without lies, one would be a constant drone, just like anyone else and public too. You see, lying keeps self from going public. Ego especially loves privacy. It's secret is its own and sometimes it believes that lie is reality when in fact it's all illusion.
Take for example, love. We all know that `love` spelled backwards is `evol`, which sounds like `evil` but really reminds us to `love` is an `evolution` to one's sense of self. By loving self too much, self seeks to justify its ego by convincing self that others see self as lovable. Then take love a step further, the love becomes other people, who would also follow blindly in the vanity of ego's love of self in the first place. Get it?
If not, neither do I. Lying is okay as long as no one gets seriously hurt. By telling the truth, evil would sprout its ugly head and no one wants to get a piece of the ugly truth, which almost always dies from its own self-destruction, a belief that it's okay to lie. Get it?
I don't but that's what came out of my beautiful mind from somewhere or someone or something regarding lying to protect self.
