I believe that context is extremely important, not just in lying, but in nearly every type of human interaction and situation.

I used to be quick to judge people, but then I learned that when you do that, you are essentially making a large number of assumptions... which generally turn out to be wrong. Now I always try to uncover as much information as possible regarding the context of the situation before I react or make a decision.

The point is... and it seems like most people have expressed a similar view... I do my best to follow the values and principles that I have chosen to live by, but if the context of the situation calls for it, I don't believe that lying is inherently bad or evil.
