Telling A Lie

Telling a lie Posted 11 February 2006
The moral principle is "telling a lie is not acceptable." Can it be possible to lead a normal life in this world, without ever telling a lie?

Why not?
I think it should be possible. :)

What if you tell a lie without knowing it is a lie?
Like you said something that is not true but you didn't know it's not true.
Is it considered a lie?

If you didn't know it's not true it's not a lie... it's misinformation :D

Lying is inevitable in order to avoid stressful situation, but we should not abuse of this too

If a girl looks bad, should we tell her she looks bad, or should we tell her a lie that she is wonderful? I think the latter is the best option.

Maximus, you are right. However this should not become a habit of ours, otherwise we will become liers.

This is a variable of a lie, a positive side of it – politeness

Interesting point of view. This means lie is inevitable in a civilized world,

A lie means when you tell something untrue to somebody and you're afraid it will be revealed, otherwise it's a joke

It's impossible... Sometimes we lie so that we don't hurt somebody else... Like when someone ask you maybe your friend will ask you Am I ugly? Of course you will say that she or he's not but actually he or she is right? :)

hey, you stole Maximus' idea. But, let it be so.
I would like to share with you what I found in regards to what a "lie" means:
to speak untruthfully with intent to mislead or deceive
to convey a false impression or practise deception

I, for one, believe that being totally honest with a person. After all we are all human and we do make mistakes, but sometimes people just tell you want you wish to hear in order to accommodate your feelings. It shouldn't be that way. If you tell me the truth, I'll have much more respect for you. If you lie, then it creates problems. I would rather be safe than sorry, therefore expressing how I feel is imperative. Emphasize: the grade school story on the boy who cried wolf, now we all know what that's about, but folks still persist to do as they wish. So what are you gonna do? We should all just tell the truth. I have a friend by the name of KC, and she tells what she feels. people may scrutinize her for it, but it's worth it rather than all of the other hoopla. I respect her and what she goes through.
