Lying With Integrity


Lying with integrity can cause many problems in a relationship. When your Girlfriend asks does that dress she just bought make her bum look big, what do you do? Say yes an hurt her feelings or lie and tell her it only enhances her already beautiful looks. Some of us lie without even putting effort, it just seems that lying can be a better option. I dont think it makes you a bad person if you lie for the benefit of someone else. It's once you start lying to gain for yourself that you must start to act.

There is always the question of lying, and being lied to, which was brought up in the lecture on lying with integrity. Obviously no one likes to be lied to, but it happens. Can you justify lying to someone and then reacting negatively when it turns out that you have been victim to a lie? The answer clearly has to be, NO.
