No lie is a good lie!!

In the beginning of "Lying as Americas Pastime" stated that everyone lies, doesn't matter who you are; everyone lies. With lying comes with how small/how big the lie can be. Also nothing good comes from an intentional lie. Some people would ask why? Well simply because telling a lie doesn't help any situation. Some say lying is a good thing because you're "protecting" a person from hurting but really thats just a selfish move. Some may say since an intentional lie isn't that big of a deal that you could live your life always telling little lies here and there, but what happens once they catch up to you? What happens when theres nothing else you can think of but the truth? Or even what happens when you get caught?
Lets take cheating in a marriage as an example. The man comes home late from work and claims to his wife that "he was working late at work", yet while she is doing laundry his tie is missing and theres red marks around the neck of the shirt. She immediately asks her husband where his tie has gone and what this red stuff was, he then tells his wife "You know ties always bother me so i always just take it off in the office, that red stuff?! Thats just because a red marker decided to act up and attacked my shirt, honey!"  Of course she isn't going to think too deep into her husbands weird actions. But, about a month later the signs just help happening and happening and finally the wife comes home early, like 3 days early to surprise him and there he was with his mistress.
All the lies and excuses eventually add up, so in the end the one being lied too is the one hurting. No matter the size of the lie or the reason for the lie, I feel as if it's never worth it. You can always tell the truth because an intentional lie is never a good thing.
