Do you believe it's okay to misleading people if it's gonna save everybody's trouble in long run?
One thing I noticed is often people want things that are not realistic. Sometime people pursuing unrealistic goal hurts everyone, friends and family.
So we often trying leading them to choose things they don't want for everyone's stakes. If keep telling truth then it get worse because they don't want to hear truth hurts.
Example: two guys got angry at each other and ready to get in fight, I lies and say hey police is here already stop it now. I mean they maybe found out I lied but by then both of two guys not fight anymore but aparts from each other.
Example 2: old man age 90 who losing memory and never want to live in nursing home or assisted living. However if we don't misleading him then he end up burning his own home. So we first say we found a place for him to live and he gonna have roommate. We mislead him believing it's not nursing home when we bring him there.

I believe there's a nicer approach to it, why not using logic to make them understand? Your argument is valid and I'm sure they'll understand.
If they found out you lie it will only make a new problem. I know you just want to do what you think is the best, but you should also accept that the other person also wants to do what they think is the best for them, and you don't have to intervene everytime.
