What is the value of a lie? We teach our kids to lie or not to lie. I think we should teach them the value of lying. When mama come downstairs and she got some new dress and she tells me or my son how do I look, I wink at my son and I say here's the value of a lie. You look fantastic. You look beautiful. What's the value of a lie?
First of all, Leo, why is it a lie to tell her she looks beautiful? Isn't she beautiful? Secondly, I don't believe in lying. I think lying is bogus. I feel like you should always tell the truth. I'm teaching my kids not to lie because of integrity. Lying is a cop-out. It's not the truth. You're only lying to the person, but you know the truth and God knows the truth. So, yeah, I'm not a big liar. I don't like lying and I don't stand by it.
Grand Rising Leo, shout out to you. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for the post. You know, I've always been told through the years that people should never lie. Even a white lie is bad. However, as I've become an adult, you know, and I've heard different stories from people even survival stories in times of war, for example, you know, in dire situations like that, I think certain lies are lifesaving.
For example, during the Holocaust, when families would house in the attic, for example, of Jewish refugees, right? They would hide them from the soldiers that would throw them in concentration camps and kill them or kill them on the spot, right?
The families that would host these Jewish families in the attic secretly, they had to lie in order to not only save themselves, but to also save the victims of the Holocaust. I think there are certain lies in extreme situations to save the masses, to save family members, to save people in general is sometimes needed.
Because when evil comes through, and I mean pure evil comes through, they don't deserve the truth. Because what are they going to do with the truth? They're going to use it as a weapon. They're going to use it to kill people, to hurt people, to maim people, to commit heinous depraved actions to those individuals. So I think there's a time and a place.
I think it's important to raise society with a more balanced approach when it comes to the value of a lie. When is it necessary to lie? List some examples, right? You know, because the people that lied, say, for the victims of the Holocaust, right? The victims of the Holocaust survived that situation.
