Is lying morally wrong?
In my opinion lying is not morally wrong when you don't cross some boundaries. For example white lies are harmless, because the are generally told to avoid hurting someone's feelings and creating some useless conflicts. But of course they are lies that cannot be forgiven and are morally wrong. An example of such lies are those that can significantly change some situation for example in relationship. Lying in relationship is wrong becuse when you lie you change the way how people see you and you are trying to be someone that you are not.
To sum up, lying is not wrong when it's a white lie or when it don't affect some important situations, but lying about yourself in relationships is wrong and for a longer period of time it will only cause harm.

I wish you were a bit clearer about what lies in a relationship are wrong. If you tell you sensitive best friend the truth that his clothes are unfashionable, will it do anyone any good?
