To make someone believe or give a false idea about something to someone is morally wrong and will always remain so; to say the truth is for a person to come totally clean to another and also put in his or her total best to see that the individual gets their point or what they are trying to tell the other person and In cases where the other individual don’t understand, it is expected that more efforts should be put in to try as much as possible to make that individual to get you clearly.
A lie of omission is the opposite of saying the truth. It is synonymous with telling a lie as it implies, painting a picture in another person's mind, making the person imagine a certain imagery, giving little details about something, trying to say what is not false but not allowing the person get the full picture of what is true, but the picture of what you want the person to have or giving the person incomplete details by giving only details of the exact information you want the person to have. You are not lying, but at the same time, you are still not telling the truth.
It has become the habit of many individuals to engage in a lie of omission, never telling lies but always not giving out the complete information, making the other person have only the information that might seem safe to them. This is total manipulation, and it is morally wrong and unacceptable. Some people will withhold information that matters so much from you, keeping it to themselves, saying Since I was not asked, I will not say, and that will keep me from lying about it.
While some people are okay with this behaviour, it is important to note that this could lead to a breakdown of trust, since the other person might feel that he or she is being manipulated into believing something that is not true. This may lead to the destruction of relationships since trust is mostly the foundation of a good relationship, and having the same effects as an outright lie will have.
A person who will tell you a different story, not telling you the complete truth, making you believe what is not true, instead leaves out the major details of the information, will only do that to cheat or deceive you. This person will only say things that he is comfortable with or that will make you succumb to whatever plot they have. There are a lot of examples of people who will pretend to be good, or like what a person likes, and hate what the person hates, making the other person think they are compatible and deceiving the person into getting married to them. This, in the end, becomes a total disaster when the other person, after being deceived into marriage, finds out that he or she had been lied to all along. It will so happen that the trust will go missing, and happiness in the marriage will also follow. It is crazy what the wrong people could do or go through just to get what they want from you.
A lie of omission is still a lie, and one should not pretend that it is better than an outright lie; people who do both do it with the same intentions, which makes them fall under the same category.
Thank you for reading. My name is @rishagamo, and this is my response to the Hive Learners weekly Featured Content Week 183 Episode 01: “THE LIE OF OMISSION”.
Nothing can justify a lie when it's been told. I know a lot of the time people tend to make their lies look good and make you feel like they are proud of it
Yeah, and it is truly difficult sometimes when faced with a certain situation not to lie.
