I haven't told a lie in three years, I can't lie. The last time I lied, the guilt ate at me for 2 long weeks until I came clean. The severity of the lie doesn't matter, a lie is a lie, I refuse to betray a person with a false statement. I'm spending Christmas with my family this year. I don't get to see my family often, so when I do, it's a really big deal. My little brother asked me if I got him anything for Christmas, and I said "no" because I wanted to surprise him. I feel like he's hating me right now, because he thinks I didn't get him anything. I don't want him to think that I don't care, and it's killing me because thats how I would feel, but I don't want to ruin the surprise either. Why can't I lie ? Why does it bother me so much ?!

    No, lies are often the right thing to do. If you know something that someone else doesn't, and it would hurt their feelings, if it's not necessary to tell them, don't.
    Lies aren't always bad. Life isn't that black white.

    Or you could've said "It's a surprise" That wouldn't have been a lie and isn't giving anything away.
