what's your answer?

911 views. 2011-11-2 08:11

Ive read several books for this couple of months, most of them were related to religion and love/relationships/marriage, and a couple of other morality issues. Besides, there are several questions those books are telling, I'll post a few here:(you're supposed to say whether you agree or disagree with the statement).

From my point of view, this kind of questions are not just simple true or false, i guess that depends on what exactly happened in reality. I put agree or disagree on those questions, i would like to know your opinion too!

1. It is ok to lie if it helps someone.

 2. I would testify against a family member if she was guilty of a crime.

 3.I would confess to a crime I did not commit if it would save my life.

 4. If your spouse cheats on you, you would forgive him or her.

 5. If your spouse cheats on you, you should give him or her another chance and stay together.

 

for 1, I put agree. some small white lies are ok in my opinion, you don't want to be brutally honest and hurt the other person's feelings.

for 2, i put disagree. i mean, i would probably feel a bit guilty, but it is my family member after all, who shares the same blood as i do. what do you think about that one? i really don't know... if your family member was a murderer or something, would you turn them in?

3: i felt really bad when i answered this one. i put agree, because life itself is the most important thing; but i did feel a bit selfish? guilty? because i wouldn't be able to sacrifice my life for a greater cause? also a bit like a coward? really shows how petty selfcentered i am.

i put disagree for 4 and agree for 5, which is a bit contradicting in itself. really ironic how i would never forgive the person, but still be willing to stay with him is he cheated on me. sometimes i think my brain works differently compared to other people. anyway, what do you think?

Here is my question:
1, If small whtie lie could make others feel well temporarily, but it would bring bigger or larger trouble, what would you do?
2,  I have a different idea about the NO.2, Maybe you should help your famliy more at the normal life, but if he/she became a murder, the world is fair,maybe you should give he/she a chance to make change.
3,about spouse, there are no lies between the wife and husband in my opinion, but communication.

Basically, I would give the same answers that you give. Perhaps most people would give similar answers. But I think the problem is when we make real choices in real life, it's difficult to stay rational and cool. We always know what is correct, but we often do wrong.
