The Truth about Lying

I've been wanting to write on a subject that intrigues and challenges me: the subject of lying. I've found it very difficult to do. Everyone I've talked to has a quite intense and personal but often rather intolerant point of view about what lies he can and can never tell. I've finally reached the conclusion that I can't present any ultimate conclusions, for too many people would promptly disagree. Instead, I'd like to present a series of moral puzzles, all concerned with lying. I'll tell you what I think about them. Do you agree？

Social Lies

Most of the people I've talked with say that they find social lying acceptable and necessary. They think it's the civilized way for folks to behave. Without these little white lies, they say, our relationships would be short and nasty. It's arrogant, they say, to insist on being incorruptible and so brave that you cause other people unnecessary embarrassment or pain by compulsively presenting them with your honesty. I basically agree. What about you？

Will you say to people, when it simply isn't true, "I like your new hairdo," "you're looking much better," "It's so nice to see you," " I had a wonderful time"？ Will you praise ugly presents and ugly kids？

And even though, as I do, you may prefer the polite evasion of "You really cooked a storm" instead of "The soup "—which taste like warmed-over coffee—"is wonderful, "will you, if you must, proclaim it wonderful？

There's one man I know who absolutely refuses to tell social lies. "I can't play that game, "he says," Fm simply not made that way. "And his answer to the argument that saying nice things to someone doesn't cost anything is, "Yes, it does--it destroys your credibility. "My friend does not indulge in what he calls "flattery, false praise and sweet comments". When others tell lies he will not go along. He says that social lying is lying, that little white lies are still lies. And he feels that telling lies is morally wrong. What about you？

Peace-keeping Lies

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 tell these lies at times, yet I always feel they're wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong. And whenever I lie so that someone won't disapprove of me or think less of me or yell at me, I feel I'm a bit of a coward, I feel I'm dodging responsibility, I feel guilty. What about you？

Do you, when you arc late for a date because you overslept, say you're late because you got caught in traffic jam？

Do you, when you didn't remember that it was your father's birthday, say that his present must be delayed in the mail？

Finally, do you keep the peace by telling your husband lies on the subject of money？ And in general do you find yourself ready, willing and able to lie to him when you make absurd mistakes or lose or break things？

Protective Lies

Protective lies are lies folks tell—often quite serious lies--because they're convinced that the truth would be too damaging. They lie because they feel there are certain human values that are more important than the wrong of having lied. They lie, not for personal gain, but because they believe it's for the good of the person they're lying to. They lie to those who trust them most of all, on the grounds that breaking this trust is justified.

They may lie to their children on money or marital matters.

They may lie to dying about the state of their health.

I sometimes tell such lies, but I'm aware that it's quite presumptuous to claim I know what's best for others to know. That's called playing God. That's called manipulation and control. And we never can be sure, once we start to ju

Father's Stroke Leaves Loving Son Feeling Guilty

Dear Harlan,

My father recently had a stroke. When I heard the news, I went to see him and my family right away. I live in California, and they live in Canada. lie is recovering slowly. My mom is with him at the hospital every day making sure that he is getting the therapy and help when he needs. But she is having a hard time emotionally and financially. It's like a nightmare that won't end.

I have a good job here in a band that relies on me. I don't have the money to keep flying there, and my job won't permit me to take more than two days off a week. I feel like quitting everything and being with him and my Mom. I am newly married, which makes the situation hard.

Should I move back home？

Struggling

Dear Struggling,

Listen, you're not being fair to yourself. If you move, you're going to feel guilty because you've abandoned your band, your job and uprooted your new spouse (and both of your lives). If you don't move back home, you're going to feel guilty because you're not there to help. Either way, you're bound to feel guilty. At least live where you can be happy and guilty.

When you cut through all the emotions, your life is not in Canada. Your mom is at home for your dad. Be there to support her (and him) by calling and visiting as much as possible. Make sure your mom knows that you're trying to balance it all and help. Guide her toward emotional support. If necessary, take a part-time job on days off to help pay for more visits home. Just avoid abandoning your life, hopes and dreams. No parent would want that.

Harlan

A．Do not go back to his parents in Canada.

B．Leave his job, his band and his family.

C．Keep calling and if possible, visit more.

听力原文：W: What's the trouble with you？

M: When I came home after stopping for supper on my way home, I had a headache and fever and a pain in the chest. In fact I was in aches and pains all over, so I took some aspirin and went straight to bed. During the night my stomach began to ache and I felt like vomiting. I could get no sleep at all. Has the pain in the chest anything to do with the upset stomach？

W: No, it has nothing to do with it. Let me feel your pulse... Open your mouth and let me see your tongue, please. Do you still have a stomachache？

M: It's a little better than this morning, but it still aches.

W: Undress and lie down here. Your coat is quite swollen. You have a touch of flu. I'll give you a penicillin shot. There's nothing seriously the matter with your stomach. So you don't need to worry about that. I'll give you a proscription. Take the liquid medicine three times a day thirty minutes before meals and the capsules a haft hour after meals. Now then, I must warn you against greasy food for a while. After that you may eat what you like, but don't overeat for a while even if you have an appetite.

M: All right, Doctor. Thanks.
