It was heartbreaking, but intention of this lie was done in love. Lies arise from love. When a daughter choses not to tell her parents about her broken marriage, she knows that her parents are going to worry and even get sick. She loves her parents, lying was a better option than telling truth. Furthermore a lie is about simply being selfish.
The easy way is often referred to as the wrong way and in some cases this is true, such as when Victor ignored his creation. By not facing his fears he was granted the absence of the monster, but only contributed to emanate problem just on the horizon. Victor’s tone of boastful arrogance soon turned to forlorn warning when he “Had finished and saw, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled his heart” (Shelley, 42). A fantastic example of the “easy way out” could be found in The Importance of Being Earnest. As Jack quickly finds out, lying about your true name to win the girl of your dreams can be successful, but also have consequences.
She concluded Brigit might not have done the tests accurately because of the previous reading. Instead of addressing this issue she decided to avoid the confrontation and shoulder the responsibility of retesting everyone. In my opinion passive communication, although avoid confrontation is not effective because Brigit is left unaware she completed the tests inaccurately. This is an injustice to her and the students because she will continue to make this mistake unknowingly. The more effective way to handle this in my opinion would be to ask Brigit to demonstrate how to complete the test and show her what she is doing incorrectly.
By accepting yourself you can grow and gain self-confidence. I also chose honesty, but again we both have different definitions. My definition of honesty is admitting to your mistake and truly wanting to make it right by telling the truth. My biggest pet peeve is when somebody cheats, it isn’t fun for anybody else and they aren’t being trustworthy. As soon as I meet someone I trust them until they do something to take that trust away.
Conscience Conscience can be defined as that “gut feeling” you have when you know the difference between right and wrong. Some of us have the ability to tell a lie and not feel guilty afterwards, while others can’t handle it and eventually come clean because it is the morally right thing to do. When it comes to our own desires and selfish needs our conscience can often times be manipulated. In Flannery O'Connor's, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the grandmother showcases her selfishness through a series of events where she lies and manipulates her own family members to get what she wants without ever stopping to think that her actions may not come from the goodness of her heart like she believes. An example of someone who would fess
We lie to people we think would misuse the truth in unfair or dangerous ways. Keeping the truth secret or deceiving people is only effective when those people believe we are providing them with the truth. Lies only work if we lie infrequently enough, to be believed and relied on when we do lie. Honesty is about keeping promises to tell the truth. Accepting our promise to tell the truth puts someone is a relationship with us.
Whether Dimmesdale decided to reveal his deep dark hidden secret or not, merely has no significance. As Puritan Society stated, women were more prone to be sinners; the envisioned picture of me was already painted as the corrupter. Is that moral? Would God find this acceptable because the Puritan Society apparently does. If Dimmesdale had came forth, it might have saved him from the mental and physical deterioration but would the Puritan Society had honestly punished him the way I had been?
Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell truth, I tell what ought to be truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!"
If someone does have too much pride they are often to stubborn to admit that they are wrong. Which in some cases lead to a life of crime. If a child would lie to their parents that would be so simple as to just hitting their sibling, or forgetting to take the trash out. After they would get caught up in the lie they would continue lie, and lie, and lie. It’s not that they are stupid; it’s just that their pride makes them do stupid stuff, as to admitting to their mistake and telling the truth.
She was even more disappointed bec. I lied not bec. i failed. Had I told her the truth and just apologized, she would continue trusting me more when it comes to my grades. Moving on, we also lie for convenience.
