The moral principle is "telling a lie is not acceptable." Can it be possible to lead a normal life in this world, without ever telling a lie?

Why not? I think it should be possible. :)

What if you tell a lie without knowing it is a lie? Like you said something that is not true but you didn't know it's not true. Is it considered a lie?

Lying is inevitable in order to avoid stressful situation, but we should not abuse of this too

I bet one would destroy its life if not lying.

If a girl looks bad, should we tell her she looks bad, or should we tell her a lie that she is wonderful? I think the latter is the best option.

Maximus, you are right. However this should not become a habit of ours, otherwise we will become liers.

Elis

Interesting point of view. This means lie is inevitable in a civilized world,

A lie means when you tell something untrue to somebody and you're afraid it will be revealed, otherwise it's a joke

Sometimes we lie so that we don't hurt somebody else... Like when someone ask you maybe your friend will ask you Am I ugly? Of course you will say that she or he's not but actually he or she is right? :)

I would like to share with you what I found in regards to what a "lie" means: to speak untruthfully with intent to mislead or deceive to convey a false impression or practise deception
