Are lies ok?
It’s not that we “expect” people to lie to us but if it’s reasonable than I think it’s ok, not all the time and about everything. For example, when some women get pregnant and start to show they don’t want to be told they look big and fat they want to be told that they look gorgeous and doesn’t look like a fat cow. Men would be in big trouble if no one lied in the world. Women rely on their man for those little things they say about us looking beautiful even when we aren’t or feel don’t. Little white lies like that I think are okay other than that I grew up not being able to lie. My mom was very smart and up to date on everything. If she asked me a question about something that meant she already knew the answer.My dad always says " Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Yeah, i do agree that sometimes we, as human need to lie.It might be for whatever reason but lies make things complicated.It is true that lies sometimes make people feel better in some ways especially to those who cannot tolerate to hear the truth and would prefer to hear a lie so they don't get hurt. But will it be easier for a person to live freely with the unfortunate truth or stay with the deceiving beauty of lies? I do respect your point of view.
ReplyDeleteYou have very good thoughts about lying. I also think it is ok to lie in certain situations. If we didn’t have lies, there would be a lot of conflict and hatred toward each other. Some people don’t even consider these lies, which where I think the problem comes up.
ReplyDeleteI see where your coming from and believe that there's the right time and place for lies but then there's those moments where lies can only bring evil and get in the way of respect for one another. obviously we lie to our loved ones to make them feel better about themselves or to cheer them up but no one wants to be played for as a fool either. everyone lies but it's in our hands to decide from what's right from wrong.
