is telling lie good or bad?

 

When a child is sick and skiny and haveing diarrohes mother administrates a

bitter medcine telling that it is sweet, is she speaking lie? No she is telling

the trueth. ANother child suffering from diarrohea wants to eat sweets but his

mother tells him that it is arappukatti and stops him from eating. Is she also

now not telling alie. What is the trueth.The criterion in judging whether or not

something is a truth is that it must be good for others . But what is benefical

to some must not be harmful to the other, which means that what we consider

truthful must not do harm to the anybody.people for whose well being a system is

being expounded must accept it as something that they like they must also be

able to follow it without difficulty.

 

it is with this good intention that ones system is elevated and another lowered

in relation to it. the purpose is not to show that the latter is in fact

worthless. The real idea behind deviating a system over another is that the

individual who receives instruction in it will appreciate that is the one tha is

meant for him, when he finds that it is the one best suited to him he will

follow it with intrest concentrating on it.
