Deception In Julius Caesar
Deception is believed to be positive, to cover up the negative truth. Keeping a reputation is more important than the truth when it can ruin something bigger.

The Chancellor, who is secretly the Sith Lord, persuades him to join the dark side, which was what the Jedi wanted to avoid. The Jedi deceiving Skywalker delayed the war, between the Empire (Sith) and the Rebels (Jedi), when they originally took Anakin in, instead of automatically being with the Siths.
