I think it's okay not to be honest.

I think it's okay not to be honest. Sometimes, we need a 'white lie'. For example, I'm hiking with my friend. There's still a long way to reach the top of the mountain, but my friend looks exhausted. In this situation, if I say, "There's not much time left until we arrive. Cheer up!", my friend can cheer up more than if I say, "We still have to go a long way.". Like this example, it's okay not to be always honest.

Hi Kara!

It's hard to be honest always.

Sometimes, we also have to lie to protect somebody.

It may be wrong, but it feels right.
