Lying is Sometimes Moral What do you think of a person who tells a lie to you? Our first reaction to this question is that we would absolutely regard him /her as an immoral person. But it turns out that we are wrong when we recognize it is a white lie. Therefore, telling a white lie is sometimes moral. A good case in point is my parents’ experience. Three years ago ，my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer，my parents hesitated whether to tell her the truth or not. At that time, my grandmother is in extremely bad condition, she not only suffered cancer but also suffered other kinds of illness. The attending doctor told my parents that my grandmother only had three months left. They weighed the situation carefully. If they would have told her the truth, it only would resulted to her death more quickly .So they decided to keep her in the dark. Instead, they told her that it was the natural ageing process that made her sick, and if only she kept optimistic, she could brave the tough times. The little trick worked perfectly. In her last few months, she had the best time of her life without worrying her illness. Miracles came after the white lie, she lived two more months than the doctor’s predicted. This particular instance had familiarized me with white lie, and from then on, I began to pay attention to it. I find it was more comfortable to tell my friend that she is endowed with beauty rather than tell her the truth that she looks like Betty. Therefore, she feels good, I feel good, and nobody gets hurt. And when I feel desperate, my friends’ white lies make me feel that there is still hope in my life. Now you don’t have to bother whether it is immoral not to tell your friend that her favorite skirt is a disaster. The only thing you should do is to tell her with sincerity that she looks fabulous in that skirt. So let the white lie add a spring to our lives.
