Is lying ever justified?

Hi Guys ,
Few days back one question came in to my mind that ,Is lying ever justified? or it is not at all justified?People lie in trouble to save themselves from punishment or scolding, kids lie and make excuses when late or not able to do assignment.. We lie when we don’t want to meet or talk to people.. Shop keepers lie so they can sell their stuff, business men lie, politicians lie etc…… So who doesn’t lie?
So can we then say that it is not possible to live a lie free life.I guess every one of us faced a situation that forced us to lie……or these are “justifications” that we present to our selves,which have caused us all to be so indulged in lying…..

What your view guys? Please this time i want answer from every one..and don't make it Flop show!

Topic is also interesting..

I guess lies can never be justified but we have to cheat out conscience sometimes just to survive.

I would also say that lie can be a sin if it harms someone. If it is for oneself only then no probes sometimes :-)

Me too agrree with hetal, same to same hain mere taraf se bhi.

nice comments:)

We gnrly least bother for ppl who r not important to us.
We try to say truth evrytime..to those who are important to us but sometimes when either those fail to understand us or we know tht impact of that lie dnt cause much damage and bring peace to present ,we lie. As per me,its always better to say truth.lie shuld be kept minimum as it can damage "trust".the most important component of any relationship.
Lie is not justified most of time !!
thanks
