Greeting Oga Delishpot i don come again.

My Issue now is: Is Honesty Always The Best Policy? Is there a time when a little lie is not so bad?
Considering, when being honest might hurt someone's feelings or make them feel bad, when telling a little lie will help you get out of bad situations and so on. Despite these, should the Truth always be told and why?

I just want to get a rational opinion from another person concerning this.

A question on morality, hmm.

Honesty is very good, yes. Of course, some people would say that honesty is not always the best, and I agree with them because in some situations its just plain stupid. In such cases, I think I'd prefer to just decline to comment and if that's not possible, use diplomacy to try to steer the conversation in another direction without actually lying. For example:

Boss: Have you finished drafting a report based on that field development plan?

Brutally honest answer: No sir

Boss: *gets mad and complains about how you never get work done on time and starts resenting you*


On the other hand, with diplomacy:

Boss: Have you finished drafting a report based on that field development plan?

Diplomatic answer: On my observation of the FDP I noticed that I needed to do some more research on some areas I find questionable so as to give you a proper, well rounded report without leaving anything important out. I will provide the completed report tomorrow. (Then you sit your ass down and write the fucking report!!)


But the best thing is to try not to put yourself into situations where you'll need to lie

its very good to be honest.. firstly.. i think its best to avoid situations that would make us want to discard honesty.. like taking a stroll to the sambisa forest and claiming to be a Christian.. and there are some situations that may require you to stretch the fact a little.. or some that actually require you to lie to survive.. so it all depends on the situation... but i think its best to avoid such situations.. although its hard


btw welcome back 4kings

@4kings, I agree with Wilgrea7

in a perfect world, Yes! it is the best policy
but the world is not perfect and life is much more complicated than a linear view

True.
Thanks Wilgrea7 and AnonyNymous; so the best thing is to try to avoid those situations.

Silence should be used instead of lies in such cases. That is what I do when I do not want to hurt feelings.

Pray for me,that God should make 16th of December 2017 a reality

Hmm, that's another good point. Thanks.

Oga Delishpot, what if the situation is a case of your close friend consistently cheating on his wife with her best friend? Now you're also close to the wife, however, telling this to the wife might lead to a big disaster and even the end of the marriage and your relationship with your friend, and would put her in a very sick emotional state.
But keeping silent, will possibly have no effect(with hopes that the man might change). What would you do?

I think its best to still be quiet and feign ignorance of the whole thing. Probably hang out less with your friend to see if that sends him a signal that you're not pleased. That's kind of like a personal thing that you're not supposed to be involved with so its best you stay out of it.

Is this situation happening to you?

It is not a crime to say " I choose not to involve myself " if she asks you directly. If she doesn't ask you, I'd say unless you feel not telling her would cause more harm than good, then keep your need to yourself. If the man's action is going against your principles speak with him about it and if he still doesn't listen, cut off from him or avoid going places with him where he does such things. Silence doesn't have to be taken literally, it could also mean not talking about a particular topic.

Thanks, you're and AnonyNymous are pointing at the same direction.
I gues i should start judging more on reason and less on emotions regarding issues like this.

One of the greatest problem we face as humans is patience. To wait on God for what we have asked. I remember once I asked a bro if he was planning on traveling to a non english speaking country. That I saw him there with his family. He said NO that he doesn't even see himself in such a situation. It took two years for the vision to come to pass. He got a scholarship and went abroad to a well known non english speaking country. He took his family after a while to spend the holiday with him. By the grace of God I have experienced many similar instances where it took a very short time for the word to come to pass while some happen after a few years. You can imagine if he was in a hurry to witness it ASAP? I can say after 24 months of nothing he would have given up hope. There are times you need patience and trust in God for what you believe in even though you have to do other things while waiting for God to answer your prayers. Imagine if someone had told Donald Trump when he was 25 that they see him sitting on the throne as a leader or president of a powerful country. See how long it would take for that word to manifest? I am sure the world would laugh at him after 20 years of nothing and he is still bragging that he will rule USA one day. Look at david in the bible, after he was anointed by Samuel to be king of Israel(1 samuel 16) how many trials and near death experiences did he pass through before he finally became king. Let us put ourselves in his shoes, would we not think that God may not have been faithful? Romans 8 : 24-30

Moral of the story, do not rush do not be in a hurry just acknowledge God and let God's will be done.

Prayer requests are still welcome.

Kelvinreality ..... I don't know why but I saw a dark cloud with wind. It dug up a lot of young men buried underground in a single pit (Maybe family problem) They seem to have been held captive for long being watched over by an assigned entity. Mission was successful but the person leading the mission has to be prayerful and the rescued should remember God in all they do lest they fall from grace. I don't know if this resonates with you but that is all I felt the lord show me.

Hmmm.....So true.

At Bolded, can you explain what you mean by Mission Successful?

Thank you for your time sir.

I saw a deliverance being done. That was what brought in the wind that dug the pit where those young men were buried ( They were not dead o, looks like they were held captive underground) The deliverance if done by a true servant of God will be successful.

How may I help you bros

I was directed to your thread by a friend who spoke highly of you and suggested you could be of help.
I am currently facing a lot of challenges. Lost my job around June and all efforts to get another is proving abortive. I can't really say what's happening to my life. I am not where I seem to be. Before now, I have gone for various job interviews done well up to the final stage only for something to just happen and I am sidelined. I just feel something is not just right. Depending on the help/handout's from family to survive. It's kind of depressing for me at the moment. I'm willing to do anything just to land a job. That shows you my level of desperation. Like I said earlier I really need your help.Thanks
