No - of course not if one's goal is to mimimise evil. Those who think one should 'always tell the truth' might ponder this: Nazis are hunting Jews. You know where they live. When thery ask you for the address should you tell them or lie?

What is the truth? It is just a view of events based on a persons's perceptual framework.

Being subtle can be much more comforting and beneficial.
