What determines the size of lies? If lies are those concern matters of small consequence, are told to just a few people, are excusable they are intended to achieve some more important goal, like paring someone's feeling. I had a very good discussion for quite a while on this topic. Most people agree that for saving a life lying is okay, and sometimes it is necessary.

You have a good topic here, but you've failed to develop it enough. Another problem is that you repeat many of the things you say.
