Do circumstances determine whether or not we should tell the truth?

     The truth could either be beneficial or harmful. He types of situations depend on whether the truth should be said. When dealing with the truth one of the persons in the situation gets hurt. The circumstance where one should tell the truth is when that person needs to help another and the time he should lie is when he is the one who needs the help. For example, if one needs help with their homework they should receive the correct way on how to solve it rather than learning the wrong way to solve it. If a lie were told no one would benefit from this; therfore, making this lie useless. An example for lying is when working with a bad guy because if one were to say the truth and the guy didn't like the truth that person would have bad things happen to him. Certain circumstances determine whether or not one should tell the truth.
