But we live in a world whose morality is like what your example illustrates. Lie becomes truth! and vice versa.

Ancient India was famous for "tarka" or debates. Great men debate. Lesser mortals engage in fisticuffs. <br /><br />Once I heard an interesting definition of lies. This industry executive said that if someone doesn't have the right to know something, and still if he/she asks a question, and if you give an incorrect answer then it would not be construed as lies. <br /><br />So in one stroke the tenet "lying is a sin" is circumvented and the person won't face pangs of guilt. Morality is a complex subject. If during times of religious riots, gangs are chasing a person and he/she seeks your shelter. And if the gangs ask you whether you have seen that person and you answer it as NO, then have you committed the sin of lying? One can say that you have ensured the greater good ie saved the life of a person by uttering a lie.

Writer Francois Mauriac said that God is able to tolerate us because He can see everything. That's the kind of morality which Spinoza advocated though he didn't believe in God in the traditional sense.<br /><br />Truths assume so many contrasting forms for people simply because they look at them from limited perspectives.
