If it is a concept that doesn’t contain an intentional lei, it can be beautiful. But proper attitude towards a beautiful concept is examination, followed aspiration, never belief.

I disagree. A lie - by which I mean an intentional, deliberate, pre-planned lie - can be helpful, kind and compassionate. In short, 'beautiful'.
For further expansion, I refer you to Twain's 'Was It Heaven? Or Hell?'.
