Such as preserving a friendship. Or refusing to hurt someone we care about.
Because as much as the truth can set us free, it can also change our world in an instant. It can take away the things that are most precious to us. It can cause pain, end relationships, and do all sorts of other evil things. These possibilities make the truth less important.
Telling the truth ain't always the best choice. Sometimes, we have to allow a lie just so we can save the more important stuff. And then we have to forgive ourselves for that lie.
