  • Is honesty always the best policy?

    Ever fib to save someone feelings?

    White lies may appear to be harmless, but they are still lies, right?

    Then there’s the lie by omission, we only tell half the truth. We omit certain facts, details or information leading someone to believe one thing when we know another to be true. Lying, even on a small scale, seems unavoidable.

    We lie to our friends, we lie to strangers, we lie to our employer, we lie to ourselves .

      Is it possible to be 100% honest all of the time?

  •     it is easiest to always be honest . when it comes to other people if you think about it is easiest to deal with something when that person is up front with you . if they lie to you not only do you have to deal with what they lied to you about but on top of it you now have a trust issue .
          Ever fib to save someone feelings ? when it comes to this my thoughts are never offer info , but if asked directly about an issue don't lie .
          these are my thoughts on lying . i live by this . it all started this way cause i wanted  to lead by example when it came to my son . how could i expect him to be honest with me , if he seen me lying to people . he is now 19 and i don't believe he would lie to anyone for any reason

  • Well, I lie to myself about things I will do or not. So, I kind of doubt that you can be 100% honest all the time, everytime.

  • at least i know i can tell the truth if i have to....

    the truth is i lie....

  • Tough issue.  Is it wrong to lie to your boss about money and expenditures?  Yes.  Is is wrong to lie to an old woman with dementia that her "horse and buggy are tied up outside and everything is okay?"  Tough, tough issue.

  • NO NO NO!!!! We all have lied about something or another and we will do it again!

    I try my best to be a good person and do what I know is right (honesty) however, sometimes you just get caught up  huh Fine line between a white lie and a lie lie  :-\

  • the secret behind the art of  fighting without fighting...one must learn how to lie....the better the lie the more likely you will win...

    a key point to remember...

    a lie is only a lie to the one who lied as for the others who listened - what is the lie....is not a lie...it is the truth...



    .....unless the one who lied sucked at lying.

  • grin grin grin No matter how much I tried not to lie, there is sometimes you can not escape from it... embarrassed well, the only reason I try to live my life true is because of my daughter. I always remember whenever I happen to lie about something, I just look into my daughter's eyes...then I stop...and there is an old saying, " a lie brings another lie..." truth always come out soon or later.
  • My policy is always say the truth! Even if it hurts people!  :'( I have two options in this case: to say the truth or to keep silence! My friends know it! They understand if I don't give any comments I just don't like it! wink
    But in the same time I will never believe that there are people who always say the truth! Of course, it's taken place in my life, too! wink But very often it happens when I just don't want to explain something...or to avoid long discussion...

  • Whoa......Nan, what a great pic!  Very nice look.


  • Whoa......Nan, what a great pic!  Very nice look.


    Ain't that the truth!!!

    Awwwwwwwww You both made me blush!!!
  • Hey, Nan...how about a photo of the week, huh????  smiley

  • I gotta say I have told a white lie in the past. Only to save someones feelings. Like old people. Who can tell them that the clothes they are wearing are from the 20's and they look ridicoulous, when they think they are dressed to the T.  I for one cannot do that to someone, ecspecially in that situation.

    How about when teenagers constantly want money? Do you tell them the truth, that you just stopped at the ATM on the way home, and you do in fact have money in your purse/wallet? Or do you fib, and say, "I'm sorry, but I don't  have any cash to give you right now to blow.

    How about when a small child loses a pet, and asks Mom or Dad if they will see them again? Now we have our beliefs, but no one really knows what Heaven is like. DO you tell the truth and say "You may not see them again." Or fib just a tad and say whole heartedly, "YES" even though we dont know for sure. 

      Just some scenerios to throw out there.

    If I don't know for sure I'll say "YES"...if there's a chance that this or that will happen or won't happen, we should believe in better! And I don't consider it as a lie! These are doubts, I think so...But if I'm convinced in something I'll say the truth! Even painful...Early or later it'll be found out anyway...
  • You hear someone breaking into your house...instinctively you tell your kid to go hide behind the pile of toilet paper in the cabinet under the bathroom's sink as you grab a weapon to confront the intruder. Unfortunately the intruder was  aware of your whereabouts and grabs you from behind...and asks "Is there anyone else home?"...and you reply.."yes my kid is and you can find him hiding under the sink in the bathroom." hmmm..is the truth really always good or the better way?

    Nice story, soda!  grin  tongue  grin tongue grin tongue
    In the previous post I said that everybody lies and I'm not an exception! wink I just hate lie and try to avoid it...but I won't argue that in life there can be different situations...So if the life of my close people depends on my lie, I do it! lol
  • let's see if this makes sense about the truth and lies...most people are brought up and taught that speaking the truth is good and lying is bad. but is it really? speaking the truth and lying is part of the do's and don'ts . so much emphasis is focused on teaching kids to do and/or don't do. meanwhile the emphasis should be on building good character. unfortunately in this fast paced world we no longer have the time to build and therefore resort to enforcing the do's and don'ts which may require very little time and effort. It's not hard to tell a kid "don't do that or don't do this" or "you should do this or do that". Shallow teaching which can lead a child to have conflicting emotions or thoughts. The child's heart might have felt it was right to lie yet is made to feel guilty as lying has been emphasized as bad..or vice-versa where the child is riddled with guilt for speaking the truth because the childs heart felt it was wrong yet did it because it was the "good" or "right" thing to do.

    i believe the truth could be just as evil as lying is evil. and lying can just be as good as the truth is good. the factor that determines this comes from the heart - whether it was a lie or not - if it came with good intentions from out of the goodness of the heart -it's good. And if from the heart it came with evil intentions and wickedness whether it be the truth or not - it's evil.
