Lying as self defense no, lies day to day yes. Lies distort individual reality, corrupt self-actualization and bring people one step closer to useless suffering.

A moral context is unwarranted. There is nothing wrong or right. It's perception driven. I'd rather say that being dishonest doesn't work in the long term, since you have to remember if you lied. Mental starin. Worst of all - sometimes people lie to themselves.
