White lies....

This thing had bothered me for quite some time now...especially after knowing a sensational revelation a few days back that I must admit managed to rocked my world... A white lie, something that is subjective yet ironically, people have this tendency to view it as an obligation of usage when it comes for the saving of a particular person of interest...especially when it involves feelings.




So my question is, what and where is that ultimate borderline which separates our conscience into telling that particular person that it is enough, it is time to tell the truth or ok, this thing I'm doing, is for the best interest of everyone, so it's not a bad thing.




You and this particular friend of yours, you guys are one heck of a bloody great team. You guys had been best friends through thick and thin. Both of you shared the joys and pain of life, both of you were there for each other when anyone of you needs the other half in desperate times. You two are like brothers or sisters, but only of different mothers. But, you knew all of the bad things that the other half had done. You told him or her that they should stop doing all them bad deeds. But no, the other half didn't listen...they kept on doing the stuffs that are morally wrong...and, they asked for you to unconsciously enable all them bad things that they're doing...example, by not telling his or her parents the truth about the things that their child had done behind their backs. In your mind, yeah, for old time's sake, for best friends sake, a white lie won't harm anybody.




Another situation, you and your bf or gf had been together for quite some time. Amidst the joy, fun and thrill of having a soul mate, you think that the special one is perfect....no flaw is possible in front of your eyes that might depict him or her in a negative manner. One particular date together, your mate tells you that it should be time for both of you to try out "something new". The possibilities of the term "something new" is abstract and broad...it's up to you readers to judge what are the possible "new" things that are morally wrong, and most importantly, against what your religion is all about. I will not touch on matters such as these. Your mate asks you whether you're ok with it or not, you wanted to say no, but in your mind, yeah, for coupling's sake, for the sake of being in the moment, for your mates sake, for the sake of trying new things out, for the sake of not being dumped, you say it's ok, a white lie won't harm anybody.



Different situation, you found out that one of your siblings had done something bad, something horribly bad that it's simultanaeously horrible and disgusting. If that particular sibling of yours is older than you, he or she will just give you that look of "DO NOT BLOODY TELL NO ONE ABOUT THIS...IF NOT, YOU'RE SCREWED!!!". If you're older than that particular sibling of yours, he or she will just give you that "Please don't tell anyone about this....I'm begging you, nobody needs to know. Please have mercy on me..." look. Your conscience is telling you to do the right thing, but in your mind, yeah, for siblings sake, for the sake of having mercy, for the sake of not humiliating your siblings, for the sake of being a supposedly good older influence, for the sake of not being hated for the rest of your life, for the sake of not receiving the cold shoulder treatment, you shut that conscience up, and say that it's ok, a white lie won't harm anybody.




Last one, your friend uses your other friend in order to get something out of the victim. After finally achieving the aim, your friend is starting to have doubts and guilt over the whole thing that had happened to the victim. But the victim didn't realised it, so your friend is asking you not to tell the victim over what had happened to him or her without they knowing it. Your conscience is telling you to do the right thing, but in your mind, yeah, for friends sake, for the sake of not hurting anybody's feelings, for the sake of some things should just be kept secret, for the sake of not wanting to make matters worst, for the sake that time itself would be enough to heal the wound and cover up the mistake, you shut your conscience up, and say that it's ok, a white lie won't harm anybody.




People, what is it that drives us to succumb to the whispers and allure of this particular conception of being a saviour, or being a soul that needs saving? Is it trully possible to save anyone based on lies? Can the definiton of a lie be altered only because you think it's not a bad thing to do so? Could the consequences of dealing with lies be thrown away simply because of our intentions? Is it possible to get away from the true consequences of lying? And most importantly, is it ok for you to lie in order to escape another police ticket?




Oh, and don't get me wrong. I do deal in lies...EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! Lying to me is like porn, without it, MY LIFE IS INCOMPLETE!!! haha... I'm asking because yeah, I am just that curious.... And damn it, don't make it look so bloody obvious that you're trying to judge me as a bad person...I admitted before of being a hypocrite, we all are, the only difference is whether we show it for others to see or not. At least now I can watch porn with this bloody monkey off my back...lol...




So, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. With that, I'd finished my first ever 23rd blog entry in my entire life. Hope you guys enjoy it...cheers.
