Do you think it's okay to lie to protect someone? No. There is no good that can come from enabling. |

I would never lie to protect someone. I would, however, strategically withhold information if the need be. Everyone is entitled to a certain amount of privacy, ourselves included - especially when it has to do with our own safety and well-being. There can be a fine line between "helping", "supporting", "being loyal", and enabling, though. Use judgement; try not to be overly rigid; and look to see that it is not misguided. |

I try to be truthful but strategically withholding info might be appropriate at some time...guess it depends on the situation. Can't really imagine! |

There can be a fine line between "helping", "supporting", "being loyal", and enabling, though. Use judgement; try not to be overly rigid; and look to see that it is not misguided. One time when protecting someone's privacy might not be so good is when you know that they will harm someone else. Knowing it and doing nothing to prevent it, is in my opinion, not a cool thing. People have the right to self-determination, free will. You can give them the information, the same way people obtain information through their instincts, but it is always up to the receiver of the information what to do with it in the end. Perhaps they have life lessons to learn. Perhaps it is their dharma. |

Do you think it's okay to lie to protect someone? Not if it involves any sort of cheating (emotional, physical, sexual) in a relationship. There are many other times when I would disagree that lying to protect someone in okay, too. |

Do you think it's okay to lie to protect someone? I will not lie for anyone, I will sidestep the issue since I dont' believe is telling out of school and people. I also have been known to state I am sorry you need to ask them that. |

Do you think it's okay to lie to protect someone? Yes, if someone goes into hiding and someone looking for them asks you about that person, I think it's okay to lie. |

I would never tell a lie, unless it was absolutely convenient.

If a rose represents love, then why does it always die?

For me...it would all depend on what the circumstances were...
I don't lie very well, either. |

hard question although I don't like lying in the past I've covered for people I felt loyalty towards and by lying they felt their honor would be protected. |
