Telling lie

I completely agree with the idea that you shouldn't tell lies. For example, imagine that your friends turns up in an odd-looking jacket clearly out of fashion when you are going to a formal party. Moreover, he thinks he looks fine. What do you say if he should ask you how he looks? If you hesitate to be honest and say his jacket is cool, he may later feel betrayed if he is laughed at by others at the party. It may even cause your friendship to collapse. You should remember a little "white lie" is not really helpful in the long run.
