Consider the following.

A parent lies to a child about the existence of Santa Claus

A partner lies about being unfaithful

An employee lies to his boss about an absence

All the above are done not to hurt someone but in fact, to prevent someone getting hurt.

The parent to comfort the child. The partner to hide the guilt and the employee to preserve his job. If non of these lies are uncovered no one has been abused.

Occasions where lies are told to deliberately harm someone, such as telling lies about a coworker to make their lives difficult is abuse.

Generalisations are usually wrong (perhaps even this one), and shows the subject has not been thought through thoroughly.

The Ten Commandments says this:

Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

In the Art of War, Sun Tsu says this:

All warfare is based on deception.

Frederich Nietzsche says this:

Do not allow yourself to be deceived. Great minds are skeptical...There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value...This absolute will to truth, what is it? Is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? Is it the will not to deceive?...One does not want to be deceived under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous or fatal to be deceived.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib says this:

Greed is a dog; falsehood is a filthy street sweeper.
