4、e on a subject that intrigues and challenges me: the subject of lying. Ive found it very difficult to do. Everyone Ive talked to has a quite intense and personal but often rather intolerant point of view about what lies he can and can never tell. Ive finally reached the conclusion that I cant presen
5、t any ultimate conclusions, for too many people would promptly disagree. Instead, Id like to present a series of moral puzzles, all concerned with lying. Ill tell you what I think about them. Do you agree? Social Lies Most of the people Ive talked with say that they find social lying acceptable and
6、necessary. They think its the civilized way for folks to behave. Without these little white lies, they say, our relationships would be short and nasty. Its arrogant, they say, to insist on being incorruptible and so brave that you cause other people unnecessary embarrassment or pain by compulsively
7、presenting them with your honesty. I basically agree. What about you? Will you say to people, when it simply isnt true, “I like your new hairdo,“ “youre looking much better,“ “Its so nice to see you,“ “ I had a wonderful time“? Will you praise ugly presents and ugly kids? And even though, as I do, y
8、ou may prefer the polite evasion of “You really cooked a storm“ instead of “The soup “ which taste like warmed-over coffee “is wonderful, “will you, if you must, proclaim it wonderful? Theres one man I know who absolutely refuses to tell social lies. “I cant play that game, “he says,“ Fm simply not
9、made that way. “And his answer to the argument that saying nice things to someone doesnt cost anything is, “Yes, it does-it destroys your credibility. “My friend does not indulge in what he calls “flattery, false praise and sweet comments“. When others tell lies he will not go along. He says that so
10、cial lying is lying, that little white lies are still lies. And he feels that telling lies is morally wrong. What about you? Peace-keeping Lies Many people tell peace-keeping lies; lies designed to avoid irritation or argument; lies designed to shelter the liar from possible blame or pain; lies desi
11、gned to keep trouble at bay without hurting anyone. I tell these lies at times, yet I always feel theyre wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong. And whenever I lie so that someone wont disapprove of me or think less of me or yell at me, I feel Im a bit of a coward, I feel Im
12、 dodging responsibility, I feel guilty. What about you? Do you, when you arc late for a date because you overslept, say youre late because you got caught in traffic jam? Do you, when you didnt remember that it was your fathers birthday, say that his present must be delayed in the mail? Finally, do y
13、ou keep the peace by telling your husband lies on the subject of money? And in general do you find yourself ready, willing and able to lie to him when you make absurd mistakes or lose or break things? Protective Lies Protective lies are lies folks tell often quite serious lies-because theyre convinc
14、ed that the truth would be too damaging. They lie because they feel there are certain human values that are more important than the wrong of having lied. They lie, not for personal gain, but because they believe its for the good of the person theyre lying to. They lie to those who trust them most of
15、 all, on the grounds that breaking this trust is justified. They may lie to their children on money or marital matters. They may lie to dying about the state of their health. I sometimes tell such lies, but Im aware that its quite presumptuous to claim I know whats best for others to know. Thats cal
16、led playing God. Thats called manipulation and control. And we never can be sure, once we start to juggle lies, just where theyll land, exactly where theyll roll. And furthermore, we may find ourselves lying in order to back up the lies that are backing up the lie we initially told. And furthermore
17、lets be honest if conditions were reversed, we certainly wouldnt want anyone lying to us. Yet, having said all that, I still believe that there are times when protective lies must nonetheless be told. What about you? If your former husband failed to send his monthly child-support check and in other
18、ways behaved like a total rat, would you allow your children who believed he was simply wonderful to continue to believe that he was wonderful? If your dearly beloved brother selected a wife whom you deeply disliked, would you fake your feelings? Trust-keeping Lies Another group of lies are trust-ke
19、eping lies, lies that involve triangulation, with A (thats you) telling lies to B on behalf of C (whose trust youd promised to keep). Most people concede that once youve agreed not to betray a friends confidence, you cant betray it, even if you must lie. But Ive talked with people who dont want you
20、to tell them anything that they might be called on to lied about. They absolutely dont want to know about it. “I dont tell lies for myself,“ says Fran, “and I dont want to have to tell them for other people.“ What about you? Do you believe you can have close friends if youre not prepared to receive
21、their deepest secrets? Do you believe you must always lie for your friends? As you can see; these issues get terribly sticky. Some say that truth will out and thus you might as well tell the truth. Some say you cant regain the trust that lies lose. Some say that even though the truth may never be re
22、vealed, our lies damage our relationships. Some say well, heres what some of them have to say. “Im a coward, “says Grace,“ about telling close people important, difficult truths. I find that Im unable to carry it off. And se if something is bothering me, it keeps building up inside till I end up jus
23、t not seeing them any more. “I suffer most from the misconception that children cant take the troth,“ says Emily. But Im starting to see that whats harder and more damaging for them is being told lies, is not being told the truth. “Im afraid,“ says Joan, “that we often windup feeling a bit of contem
24、pt for the people, we lie to.“ And then there are those who have no talent for lying. “Over the years, I tried to lie, “a friend of mine explained, “but I always got found out and I always got punished. I guess I gave myself away because I feel guilty about any kind of lying. It looks as if Im stuck
25、 with telling the truth.“ For those of us, however, who are good at telling lies, for those of us who lie and dont get caught, the question of whether or not to lie can be a hard and serious moral problem. I liked the remark of a friend of mine who said, “Im willing to lie. But just as a last resort
26、-the truths always better. “Because,“ he explained,“ though others may completely accept the lie Im telling, I dont.“ I tend to feel that way too.
