Social standards and morals tell us that the truth is good, and the lie is bad. Tell me honestly, are you always telling the truth? And if not, why do you act against the moral attitudes that you have been taught since childhood?
We teach the children to tell the truth, we condemn others for lying, but we often resort to its help. Even if we do not lie outwardly, we often hold back something, which in itself is also a lie.
The secret is that in life there are many situations, the resolution of which with the help of moral norms will lead to nothing but a catastrophe. But it is morality that requires us to tell the truth.
There is one more aspect. Suppose you always and everywhere say the truth. Are you sure that your interlocutor is ready to hear this truth? Indeed, the truth may turn out to be such that it will require certain actions from us, to which we are simply not ready.
I will give a very simple example. Once my grandmother admitted that twice in her life she had a suspicion that my grandfather was cheating on her. In a burst of youthful maximalism, I exclaimed: "So why did not you ask him directly?! You always need to know for sure!" To which the grandmother answered: "When you grow up, you will understand that everything is not so simple in life. Let's say I asked him and he would say it's true. Then I should have made a choice: to forgive him and thereby allow him to do so in the future or to break our marriage. None of these options suited me, so I did not need this truth. We lived well and destroy our lives because of his momentary fascination would be foolish."
On the other hand, lying is harmful when you thus make the future of a person vague. For example, you have firmly decided to leave your family or your work, but you continue to tell your spouse or boss that everything is fine and you will stay with them "until death part you."
You can think that in this way you protect their feelings, but in fact they deprive them of the opportunity to reschedule their lives and plans in time.
When choosing between truth and lie, one can not be guided by the rules of morality. These rules are dogmatic and require only the truth. In turn, ethics encourages us to make a decision based on each specific situation. This is the best way, more flexible and humane.
As truth, so lies can be a weapon of enormous destructive power. Handle them carefully!🤗#

I don't think that we are always telling the truth. Sometimes, we have to lie if things shoud go on well. I hope we will have to say rather white lie.
Honestly, this is the complete truth. And, no I am not always telling the truth. Everytime i have lied about something, I did so because I wanted to protect those I was lying to,or so I thought. I still do not think it is humanly possibly to tell the complete truth 100% of the time.
Truth! It's how you say the truth that matters. Be kind.
Honestly I don't always speak the truth but I try to tell the truth 98% on my words. We are human being and to err is human. Sometimes we tells lie to avoid some unexpected problems and this is the truth. Nice blog, I'm already in noise cash and read cash hope you get more people to join under you. Thank You!

My friend, many times we become pinochos, at some point it touches us, bad is as you say when we damage with our lies, right now I live a peculiar situation with a relative who lies and does not seem to realize the damage it does, I have come to the point of telling him to his face because sincerely one gets tired of it.different is when you lie to protect someone, could be considered white lie.interesting your publication.
Yeah I think if one lies in good thoughts, to prevent someone from doing something thoughtless, that in not a bad thing, even though person we lie to may feel being treated like an object.
For example if there is a fire in someone's house and the owner wants to save her wife from dying, it may be not a bad thing to say him that her wife is not there because chances of saving her are really low, and in this case only one person would die, instead of two. That's sad and brutal, but overall result is better.
Thank you!
You're very welcome... :) (and very correct!)
