Do you categorize different lies by degrees of severity, or are all lies the same to you?

I distinguish between a lie that's told with the intent to harm, or defraud another person, versus a lie that someone tells to make themselves look good, and a lie a person tells to protect themselves from harm. Some overly judgmental people treat them all with the same penalty, and that, to me, is arrogance- and these sorts of people don't tend to think of arrogance as wrong, is the funny thing. Anyone else noticed this?
