    I believe it is right to lie when not doing so would cause you to be disloyal. Like if your family member or best friend did something that they shouldn't have, you should not go tell on them or admit that you know anything. Loyalty is a virtue-- the most important one for me.

    Or to spare someones feelings... but only little white lies.
