A lie is still a lie, but at times it is required to keep a situation contained. Lying by omission is the best and only way to do that.

By omitting the death of your friends father from the information you gave her, you saved her from emotional breakdown by telling her what she only needed to know at that moment.

Yes, I agree with you that a lie is still a lie. However, like you mentioned, sometimes, lying by omission is the best way to keep a situation contained.

Thanks for stopping by.
