Question & Answer
0:00 / 0:00
So I’m going to talk about a time when my brother told me a half-truth that just happened recently actually. My brother is a trickster who is able to lie without blinking an eye. Three months ago, he told me that he was super broke and asked to “borrow” some immediate cash to pay for the air ticket that he already booked. Empathized with his situation, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and gave him some money without asking him to pay back because, you know, he is family and also jobless. He was thankful and brought me a bunch of gifts from his trips. I was quite happy as I thought my brother has finally grown up and became a more mature person. How naive I was! During my next family gathering, I brought up the story to my parents, praising my brother for his maturity. My mom’s face dropped and she immediately looked at my brother in disbelief. Turned out my brother only told me half of the truth. He was really in desperate need for some cash, but he asked both my mom and I, received money from both of us and ended up with twice the amount he needed. The ending was predictable: two hours of being scolded and grounded for one month. I was neither surprised nor sorry for him. He reaped what he sowed, you know.

Question & Answer

I believe lies, white lies or half-truths, are acceptable acts when they are done with good intentions, be it providing comfort or avoiding hurting feelings. A boyfriend, for example, can choose to tell a white lie and tell his girl she looks beautiful in those new expensive jeans. A doctor can choose to tell a dying cancer patent that he has more time to live to put the patent’s mind at ease.
