Being honest vs lying
For as long as I can remember I've thought that honesty is always the best option. You have less stress if you aren't preoccupied with using new lies to cover up old ones. I also have this idea that I owe it to people to be honest to them.
Lies are effective though and by using them you can save yourself a ton of stress in the short term and maybe even long term.
Is lying ok in a moral sense? Is it a good idea in the practical sense? Is striving to be completely honest in all situations too idealistic?
