| Aug 31, 2023 at 19:36 | comment | added | Weather Vane | @forlove1 you made it sound as though anyone who tells a lie must be a habitual liar and up to no good, perhaps even with a fundamentalist religious aspect where telling a lie will damn your soul forever. I get that one should not go around spreading lies, deceit and dishonesty for personal gain (and I don't), but in the real world, there can be situations where it isn't possible to satisfy your moral code. Or if there is a way, you need the wisdom of Solomon, which most of us don't have. | |

| Aug 31, 2023 at 10:25 | comment | added | Weather Vane | @forlove1 there might not be time to explain the truth properly, or it might not be the right moment. One can approach the world with good intentions, but seeing a need to compromise does not mean that one is "vice ridden". By "vulnerable people" I mean children, adults with special needs: those in our care who need to be protected. How is that self-importantly arrogant? | |
| Aug 30, 2023 at 23:10 | comment | added | user67521 | the attitude that other people won't understand if you tell the truth comes off as vice ridden (arrogant, unnecessarily self involved, etc.) in many situations. | |
