37、h About LyingA Ive been wanting to write on a subject that intrigues and challenges me: the subject of lying. Ive found it very difficult to do. Everyone Ive talked to has a quite intense and personal but often rather intolerant point of view about what we canand can never nevertell lies about. Ive
38、finally reached the conclusion that I cant present any ultimate conclusions, for too many people would promptly disagree. Instead, Id like to present a series of moral puzzles, all concerned with lying. Ill tell you what I think about them. Do you agree?Social LiesB Most of the people Ive talked wit
39、h say that they find social lying acceptable and necessary. They think its the civilized way for folks to behave. Without these little white lies, they say, our relationships would be short and brutish (野蛮的) and nasty. Its arrogant, they say, to insist on being so incorruptible and so brave that you
40、 cause other people unnecessary embarrassment or pain by compulsively assailing (攻击) them with your honesty. I basically agree.

42、 the argument that saying nice things to someone doesnt cost anything is, “Yes, it doesit destroys your credibility.“ Now, he wont, unsolicited, offer his views on the painting you just bought, but you dont ask his frank opinion unless you want frank, and his silence at those moments when the rest o
43、f us liars are muttering, “Isnt it lovely?“ is, for the most part, eloquent enough. My friend does not indulge in what he calls “flattery, false praise and mellifluous (甜美的) comments.“ When others tell fibs (小谎) he will go along. He says that social lying is lying, that little white lies are still l
44、ies. And he feels that telling lies is morally wrong. What about you?Peace-Keeping LiesEl Many people tell peace-keeping lies; lies designed to avoid irritation or argument; lies designed to shelter the liar from possible blame or pain; lies designed to keep trouble at bay without hurting anyone. I
45、tell these lies at times, and yet I always feel theyre wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong. And whenever I lie so that someone wont disapprove of me or think less of me or holler (叫喊) at me, I feel Im a bit of a coward, I feel Im dodging responsibility, I feelguilty. What
46、 about you?F Do you, when youre late for a date because you overslept, say that youre late because you got caught in a traffic jam? Do you, when you didnt remember that it was your fathers birthday, say that his present must be delayed in the mail? And when youre planning a weekend in New York City and youre not in the mood to visit your mother, who lives there, do you concealwith a lie, if you mustthe fact that youll
