When is is Ok to Lie ?

Recommended Posts

Lying is probably one of the most common wrong acts that we carry out (one researcher has said 'lying is an unavoidable part of human nature'), so it's worth spending time thinking about it.

 

Most people would say that lying is always wrong, except when there's a good reason for it - which means that it's not always wrong!

 

But even people who think lying is always wrong have a problem... Consider the case where telling a lie would mean that 10 other lies would not be told. If 10 lies are worse than 1 lie then it would seem to be a good thing to tell the first lie, but if lying is always wrong then it's wrong to tell the first lie...

.

What is a lie?

 

Lying is a form of deception, but not all forms of deception are lies.

"Lying is a form of deception, but not all forms of deception are lies."

 

So how about a game of three card Monty? ( used to see it going on all over lower Manhattan)

 

They are not lying to you when they take your money ??

Sometimes it is OK to lie. I think its useful to adopt the Buddhist point of view and ask yourself whether the truth is necessary and kind. I agree that in general lying is not good but there are times when it is appropriate.

It's better to tell the truth all the time and just to refrain to say anything rather than a lie. But if it's unavoidable to be silent, you can mask your truth with political correctness. This gives you territory to maneuver in the latter discussion and you are not strictly lying.

If it is possible to make a living trading in Forex but that entails many efforts because it is not easy at all.

Forex trading is recommended for everyone. However one thing is important which should be kept in mind is that forex trading may seems easy but earning money from it is not as easier as forex trading looks like.
