At all possible points, seek a peaceful resolution.

It is ironic that lying, of all human sins, gets the easiest "pass" from us... seeing that all the evil and misery and suffering in the world can be traced to a lie. Every theft, rape, and murder, every tyranny, every cruelty, every destruction and social blight, requires at some point the services of a liar to proliferate. Apt indeed that the Devil is called the Prince of Lies, because every liar is one of the damned going about doing his infernal father's work.
