Furthermore a lie is about simply being selfish. A person can be lying about his qualifications just to get to that stage where he is recognized by the others. He might be suffering later on, however. If a person is short of patience, he will use all sorts of reasons to lie and just to get away from others. This way he will not waste his time and not making a bad impression on other people as well.
Bullshit is a double-deceit towards a person, because you are hiding the fact that you do not know the information about a topic, and you are spouting out information which you are not 100% sure of, and claiming as if you know enough to hold a conversation. Frankfurt’s statement holds water, because it is a documented argument that elegantly depicts the fight between lies or bullshit being more problematic. I agree with Frankfurt, because I myself am guilty of bullshitting my way through a few essays I have written in the past. I believe bullshit is worse than lying because you don’t think as much about the topic you are speaking about. When you lie about something, you put a lot of thought into it and decide yourself whether the truth or a lie is better for you.
Because your partner is the person you have power over and by using deception they can’t truly see what you are doing, so they go on not doing anything bad because they don’t know if they can see you but they might be watched. Especially if you are a couple who always has to know where each other is. A synonym for deception is bad faith which is really spot on for what she is talking about in her essay because that’s what adultery is just plain old bad faith. And if you have this power of deception you are also somewhat harnessing the power of the panopticon. Deception is just another agency where you can lose power without even knowing it because of your ability to not see what is going
Another skill is Honesty. Being honest no matter the situation helps in building one’s character. Telling the truth helps to build a person’s character and image with respect to family, friends and workmates. Telling a lie compromises one’s integrity because lies have a negative impact on the character. When one tells a lie no matter how insignificant it is, they lose their integrity because it becomes harder for people to trust them.
Wayne Dyer once said, “Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances”. A majority of people would agree with this quote. They’d say that judging is a bad thing, that you shouldn’t judge people on what appears to be on the outside. Sometimes when one chooses to carelessly judge another, one can get caught up with the wrong people and end up in unfavorable situations. Looks can be deceiving when judging someone, not everyone appears or portrays themselves to be who they truly are.
It was the ultimate act of friendship and sacrifice, on George's part, to kill Lennie. He knew that Lennie would be lynched and hung for murdering Curley's wife. He also knew that Lennie didn't know any better, he had no idea the power of his own strength, he did not fully know the ramifications of what he had done, but he did know that it was bad and that he might get into trouble. George basically spared Lennie from a death filled with pain and suffering and Lennie almost had this moment of clarity when he knows what George has to do and he's ok with it. 3.
Bullshit is not a lie, yet you are also not being truthful either. Bullshit begins when the truth no longer matters. When we are lying, we are trying to keep the truth from being told. With bullshit, the truth doesn’t
The people that Shelton killed are considered combatants because they support they governmental system and work with it. Based on Just War Theory, the proportionality of killing these people is that their deaths are outweighed by the justice that will bring to the judicial system. Shelton believes the system to be corrupt, focusing instead on conviction rates rather than making sure the right person is placed behind bars. By killing these people Shelton can put a new mindset into the “system” because those affected by the killings will want the right man punished rather since they now know how it feels to be wronged. All the killings made by Shelton were to people who were directly showed how flawed the system was.
He went too far. He also doesn’t know that his revenge will also hurt him. He won’t go to heaven because he killed someone. This story is also saying something that is true. Revenge is sweeter when the person least expects it.
When people see or hear the word “murder,” their minds will automatically transition to wrong, inhumane, cruel, vicious, diabolical, evil, or words with negative connotation. This transitional thinking shows the human morality, their belief that to annihilate life is wrong. However, there are exceptions to this belief. An exception can be found in the novella Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck, when George Milton kills his mentally disabled friend, Lennie Small. In this case, Lennie’s death was justified because of the reasons behind the kill.
