I don't want it to be thought that I dislike telling the truth. I tell the truth about 99.995% of the time now that I'm with Jin. I spend all my time around her, and I don't have to lie to her about anything. If I don't feel some need to lie, I won't.
There are definitely times, however, when the truth is not easier than a lie, times when the truth will bring about unnecessary conflict or stress. Those are the times when a good lie, well-told, will stave off a lot of unwanted strife. I'm all for lies then.
