Lying absolutely fucking infuriates me. There are a lot of things that you can do that are bad, but lying to me is one of the bigger ones. I think because of how it affects one's sense of Enech, or Face. That and personally being lied to a lot as a child, as well as having lied a lot and feeling guilty about the pain I caused because of it. For me lying is telling false information, deliberately hiding information, telling misleading information, leaving out facts for the purpose of misleading someone, or reneging on your promises and oaths without discussing it with the person you made them to. Good lies, in terms of how they are successful, really depend on the person you're dealing with and your relation to them. Though the basics is that if they don't suspect that you are lying and you get away with your new version of the truth. Morally acceptable lies are ones that ultimately help out others and prevent harm. They are more "last resort" type things in many cases. Also things like lying to family about being queer or non-Christian are moral rights because again, it is preventing harm. It's a safety measure for oneself. Dishonesty I use a lot to hide. In particular I use it with my family a lot. My most common and persistent lies regard my gender and sexual identity. While I am sure there are lies that I am grateful for I can't think of any right now because the concept infuriates me. The only thing more morally reprehensible for me are cowards. Cowardly liars, ala Jim Jones, are basically the peak of moral reprehensibility for me. That man had no crogacht. He abandoned his Face entirely, even to those who believed in him. And that is just sickening.
