?Should you always tell the truth
We all seem to teach our children the ethical values of honesty and integrity don't we? "Always tell the truth" is our refrain, right? Yet, as we get older we realize that telling the truth often has to be nuanced
Sometimes lying could be the more appropriate ethical response to a particular conflict. For example, if your spouse or dear friend says, "How do I look in my new outfit?" or "Did I gain weight during my vacation?" or perhaps "How do you like my new haircut?" One might be compelled to tweak the truth to not offend or hurt the feelings of someone who matters to you
