Sorry for the double post, I accidentally clicked on the submit button, (it was an epic fail.) anyways...
Lying, in it's own, is bad. I believe we as humans have a moral responsibility to tell others the truth, unless it is going to seriously traumatize the other person. Also, it's NOT A LIE if you're with-holding information. Let me set a scenario. I learn that my best friend is cheating on his girlfriend. Now, while they're together, I would act if nothing is going on, to protect both of them. If they break up, then after the dust has settled I would tell her. The one exemption in this is government organizations. They should tell the truth 100% of the time. It is irresponsible for them not to. If you want to know more about what I think, because it's pretty hard to explain online, contact me.
lieng is to twist the truth, and with that you can get anything. you can kill a man, or save his life. it come in alot of scales, sometime invisible, sometime Exposed. this is all of it. every stuiped can the tell the truth, but to tell a lie you have to be smart. {for a good lie at least}. i know, they say its wrong, but i got to say: it soft the truth. whenever you say to yourself "one day i will do it", you mostly lie to yourself. when you tell to your mother "they didnt Expelled me, i left by myself" you soft the reality, when you say "its not you, its me" you do it again.
lie is everything and nothing. its almost the compeletly Zen.
