Question: What if LIES could open eyes!?
suppose someone misunderstands something, and any amount of explanation only leads them to understand it less and less!. but lying to them would cause them to learn and grasp the idea, is that the right thing to do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

the right thing!? i don't think i can properly answer that exactly without knowing what you're talking about!.

but i think i would definitely lie to help show somebody something, it's happened to me where that seemed to me like a good way to go!. but all you have to do is after it clicks just tell them the truth!.

appart from that i don't like the idea!. i even hate it with passion when parents thinking their children won't be able to understand anything, just invent some lie to answer a question simply!. when all you need to do is say it like it is and children will understand just as older people would!. so long as you don't use terminology they wouldn't yet understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

According to Adolph Hitler, the more often and the more stridently you tell a lie, the sooner it becomes the truth!. This is sort of what you are implying, that somehow we can arrive at the truth by being lied to!.

The problem is, a lie is still a lie when it has been made into the truth by naive and ignorant people!. A truth based upon a lie, is still just a lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
