Writer's Block: Little White Lies

Do you think it's okay to tell little lies about small things to avoid hurting someone's feelings? Or is there no such thing as a harmless lie?

Lies are always risky - gambling for a chance of the good outcome against a chance of a disaster. The odds are fairly favorable for little lies about small things, but it's usually better to be honest if there's a way to get a similar outcome without the lie. I can easily forgive failing to accomplish this under the time pressure of normal conversation, though.
