Scenario :: 29-Oct-2009


We all lie about everything and nothing; about what we did or did not do - To deceive people or avoid the consequences of being exposed. We lie to gain an unfair advantage or spice up some undesirable expect of our lives. The rich, the poor, the virtuous, the sinner, all lie though; the frequency may vary from person to person. Religiously or by socialization, however, we are told that lying is bad and unacceptable- but is it so all the time? Some people argue that sometimes lying is necessary or even good to save a life, to mend a relationship or to get someone to act positively.

Today on the drive, we ask you; should we always and without fail, speak the truth regardless of the consequences? Do you accept that there is something like a big lie, a small lie a good lie and a bad lie? Let us know on the drive.

Bola,
Interesting topic with regards to lying. First off, please allow me to extend my warm regards to you and all on your staff for the great work. Keep it UP!!
With regards to lying, we all have witnessed that lying is SIN and it will always result in BAD, unpleasant things happening. We see from the begining of TIME when Eve was lied to and she consequently lied to ADAM. We also see in the BIBLE where Jacob's Mother Rachel, assited him in deceiving Isaac and the resulting consequences she suffered when she was separated from her son by Jacob going into exile for a very long time.
LYING does not result in GOOD!! Thanks for allowing me to express my views!! Have a Wonderful Weekend.

BOLA, LIES ARE BAD, BUT SOCIETY HAS ACCEPTED LIES TO A POINT THAT THE ONE WHO SAYS THE TRUTH IS CONSIDERED A LIAR. WELL, I WILL LIE IF IT IS TO SAVE A SITUATION, IS CALLED WHITE LIE. RELATIONSHIPS SURVIVE ON LIES, TRUST ME.

Hi BOLAS sometimes it is good to lie to save yourself from disgrace and humiliation, even though God dislikes. Also to prevent people having wrong perception about you.ACCRA

Bola, its bad to lie but in today's world a lie is the best thing you can ever think of. For me i think its not a bad thing to lie in other to save a situation. As a matter of fact, one should not take that as an habit and do that often at least once in a while will do. there's nothing like big or small lie, all lie be lie even politicians do lie.

We should always and without fail, speak the truth regardless of the consequences. The truth is like cork -- it may be pressed down for a while, but when the factors that press it down get tired, the truth will come up. Then the liar will suffer devastating disgrace. Truth, pressed to the earth, shall rise. All lies are LIES!
