telling lies is not a sin
I Totally Agree Lying is something that has to be done depending on the situation. Everyone lies or has lied. So what is the big deal about lying. I don't understand how people can say "Lying is never the right thing," because everyone lies ! I lie, you Lie, we all lie!
Yes, unfortunately, there are times when you have to lie to do the right thing. I do not condone lying, but there are times when a white lie is needed to get by. Working as a street medic, there are times when I have to tell a critical patient that they are OK and going to be alright to try and institute some sort of hope in them to keep going. Although I know it is wrong to do sometimes, I feel as though I have to give them something to hold on to, so that they don't throw themselves down the well.
Yes, if a lie preserves someone's feelings, or protects someone from harm, it is the right thing to do. It is morally acceptable to lie when a falsehood protects someone from physical or emotional harm. Moreover, little white lies are socially accepted when they do no harm. For instance, telling a child that their drawing is nice or that their story is clever, or telling new parents that their baby is the cutest ever are both examples of this.
Sometimes lying is the right thing to do. I believe lying is sometimes the right thing to do. This is because I hate my mother. Not a minor dislike, a burning, fiery, passionate hatred. She is also severely mentally ill. Telling her I hated her would make this worse; so I lie. Telling the truth would cause far more harm than good and lying only hurts me, in this case. If there is one example where lying is the better thing to do, then I believe there are more. I feel that when the truth gains no-one and the lie benefits people - so long as it is a little thing - lying can be ok.
If lying is the only way to put a murderer in jail than it is the right thing to do. I believe that if lying protects the greater good of the people than it is worth lying
