Hi Din

The Dharma encourages truthful speech. Why? We become trustworthy & free from worry.

However, the Dharma also teaches action is intention.

For example, if during a war, we provide refuge for certain children and soldiers come to kill those children and ask us: "Are the children with you?" and we answer: "No", this is not unwholesome speech.
