Telling Lies
We have discussed the circumstances under which it might be okay to TELL a lie, but what about the reverse? Could you forgive someone who lied to you? What about one of the biggest lies. Could you forgive a boyfriend or girlfriend who cheated on you? Why or why not? Think carefully before you RESPOND to the question then REPLY to two classmates.

In my opinion, I think if it reverse to me it will be fine because people know why do we have to lie. It's like a respect if you give someone a respect, I am pretty sure they will give you a respect back.
ReplyDeleteIt's depend how important the lies is because if it not affect to me at all I will forgive them, but if it affect to me I will not going to forgive them.
The biggest lie I have to see how important the lies is. If some of my friends was lying to me about one of my family members got killed and try to protect that person,I will not for give them forever.
In that time I will not forgive my girl friend because I gave her a lot of respect and trust, but she mess it up. If the time past by I think I will forgive her because that is never happened to me before. Before I hooked up with other girls I always have to break up with my girl friends first because I don't want her to feel bad and want to hurt someone. I always doesn't want her to get piss off at my new girl friends or the girl I hooked up with. I think most of the people will do exact what I am going to do!
I agree with you that the lies depend the circumstances. Also, I will have the same behavior if a familiar have a bad circumstances in your life and I need to lie for save your life. On the other hand, I don't know if other people have the same behavior with a girlfriend when she lies.
DeleteTalking about girl friends/boy friends, have you ever thought about like this case?
Deleteif a woman is not satisfied with her boyfriend, the guy might have something to reflect on his behaviour.
This is not good an excuse, but people can not always blame someone who cheats on.
(Of course I am totally against lies and such cheaters!)
I forgive someone who lied to me. I can not even remember such big lies, which seems I actually forgive the lies, so I forgot those.
ReplyDeleteAlso if you have been frustrated by someone or somethig , you are never free. As long as you can not forgive that lies or people, those lies and the people take away your freedom. In other words, you are bound by those memories.
If you are really hurted by a lie, and it is unforgivable, it was a good time to part from the person. By the lie, you got an opportunity to leave the person.
It's sound really weird to me that you cannot remember your biggest lies because a lies always ''hit me up'' (slang word) and that is really nice for you to not remember all of those things.
DeleteI disagree, with frustrated part that you were talking about because you said that ''you are never free'' for me that is not true at all because if you tried to apologize the mistake that you made to that person, I am pretty sure that the person who is mad or upset at you will forgive you right away.
I don't know if people have the capacity to forget the biggest lies. This types of lies hurt the spirit. You can remember when other person creates bad feeling in your life.
DeleteOn the other hand, I agree the human have the capacity to take the decision of change. We want to suffer by a lie or we leave and return by a new dream.

ReplyDeleteI think that tell a lie is bad or good depend the context. If we have a friend who has disease and the doctor says that he has the probability to die the next month. I prefer say that his diseases can be better if he work for him. He would feel better than I say that he has the probability to died in the next month because the feeling affects in body.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I believe that if I don't care my relation with a girlfriend and I stay with other girl, it is not a good reason to trick because I negatively affect the feeling of other person. In the same way, if she lie to my and she stay with other boy, I don't forgive the action.
I think that I have the capacity to forgive but I don't the capacity to accept. The danger is doing and the better solution is divide ways.
In conclusion, I think that it is good use the lies when the situation doesn't affect people.
Juan I totally agree, that the lie is bad or good it depend on the context. I like the first paragraph it is a really good way to say. I'll do exact what you will do about relationship. I love the conclusion it really nice.
Deletewhat you said in the penultimate paragraph as below sounds really interesting.
Delete(I think that I have the capacity to forgive but I don't the capacity to accept. The danger is doing and the better solution is divide ways. )
I wonder what is the difference between "forgive" and "accept"? For me, it seems quite similar.
It sounds to me like when you forgive someone/something, it measn you accept it at the same time.
If the main reason of make people hate me is my candor, I'll not make them love me for my hypocritical.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is don't ever use lie.
I agree with you Meshari, the more lies people make, the less trusted they will be.
DeleteIf someone lied to me no matter who the person was, he or she can be completely forgiven, but not forgotten. we can still be friend, but we are no longer best friend.
