At one time or another, we have all found ourselves in a situation that results in us telling a lie or two in order to avoid complications.

We might feel that these are perfectly legitimate reasons to bend the truth. Does the end always justify the means? In other words, is it ok to stretch the truth or flat out lie as long as it gets you the results you want?
