My lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit (Job 27:4).

Lying is defined as misleading someone deliberately. The philosopher Kant believed that lying is always morally wrong. He believes that it is not just wrong telling a lie, but a person is more immoral because they are corrupting the capacity of a human. He also believes that this prevents others to act rationally, because lies undermine the dignity of others.

When is lying okay? This query has been questioning our moralities for what seems like since the dawn of introspective thought. Many have had different stances on it, from philosophers to regular old people like ourselves. You may think that lying is wrong no matter what, or you may have a more open point of view. Well, personally, we think that lying is justified when you need to defend others or yourself, or for a good cause.

In general, society considers lying to be negative and therefore one should not lie. Telling the truth is the morally right thing to do, and we should always be honest. Telling lies can leave us very stressed out and cause us to be deceitful towards others. We end up distorting ones views and perhaps even our own when we tell a lie that can lead to a snowball effect. Immanuel Kant has some of the strictest views on lying, and some philosophers claim there is something erroneous in his theory. He maintains that telling a lie is a violation of one’s duty to be truthful to everyone and shows a lack of respect. Even though Kant never gives a direct statement about what is a lie, he presents us with the ethics behind the his moral theory. Kant proposes an argument that it still debated about to this day. He claims if a murderer shows up at your door looking for a person that you know the whereabouts of, it is your moral obligation is to tell the murderer where the person is. Although this argument can be argued to be morally correct, one could simply not tell the truth to the murderer, due to human nature.

Lying is not acceptable and that people shouldn’t do it and that it does justify in our society. I think that if someone is lying for a good reason and an important reason then it will be ok. But if people are just lying because they don’t want to tell the truth or they got stuck in a situation where lying was the only thing that they could do and they don’t know how to tell the truth because they are so used to lying that they just keep lying to keep the lies.

It is never okay to lie to someone. Lying is disrespectful. I believe, the purpose to a lie is achieving a goal at the expense of another. It holds no moral or ethical value. Human beings are entitled to be respect by others. A philosopher known as Immanuel Kant who established two rules called as categorical imperative under the deontology theory (Kant, 2008). Deontology is the obligation or duty to act (Mosser, 2013). The rules in categorical imperative are one should act in a way that maxims resulting in action being a universal law and act with respect (an action of humanity resulting as people being equals in an end not as means to an end).
