i forgot to blog about this….wait, did i use blog as a verb? *sigh* i am a blogger now.
anyway, i was listening to the local radio station and there was a big discussion about one of the people who work there and how he had lied about moving out of his place. so for nearly a year, he would lie about the commute that he had to do and he would lie to his co-workers about where he lived.
all of his co-workers were pretty hurt when they had found out the truth. some of them thought that they were close friends with this co-worker and information like this was not something that you had to hide. the liar in question felt he had done nothing wrong. he didn’t feel that withholding this information, or lying about it was morally wrong. and that’s where the big argument came about.
i don’t understand why he feels that it was a big deal to withhold this information, and i don’t understand why he feels that lying about something so basic is not morally wrong. it is interesting to see how different people can see a situation in completely different ways.
