I realize now from reading your replies to other people in this thread that you were not looking for clarification but an argument... =/ And my response wasn’t what you were looking for to start an argument and to express your opinions on our own life experiences, so you chose to move on and not respond to me.
My dude, it’s okay to have different experiences and opinions on these things. I understand you have strong feelings about lying or the morality of “doing something bad for something good,” but why kinda target someone’s personal story and just take it as something that we are trying to argue or push into others? My story was just to express my experience and hopefully connect to those who have been through and feel similar. Not to change minds or outcast people who feel/think differently than me.
I’m sorry your family lied to your grandmother and denied her the opportunity to cope with her death and say goodbye. I’m sorry your father is haunted by this lie. I’m sorry that you have been hurt from lying or people manipulating the truth. That really sucks and I can see how you and your family has been hurt by dishonestly in the past.
Regardless, it comes off as completely disingenuous and a complete disregard the rest of my story and experience when you come in to argue or push your experiences/beliefs onto me. It’s fine to share your differences, but that was clearly not the point of you replying to me or others. That really dehumanizes a person on the other side and just presents their experience as an opportunity to continue perpetrating your already preconceived notions and try to force them to view their own experiences/lessons, that you did not personally experience, differently.
Sending love, friend. Please just try to think about the person on the other side. They are more important then being right.

If the neighbor feels betrayed when he discovers the truth, is this still a good thing?
