I despise lying. Is it bad? I think the question should be "Is it good?" What good comes from lying? Santa, the Easter bunny, and the pet goldfish that never dies...What good could come of those lies? That isn't some rite of passage nonsense, its bullshit and lazy parenting in my opinion. When the inevitable question comes up, I'll ask them what they think and then we'll have a conversation about their thoughts. Intent is not an adequate way to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable forms of lying. People are too quick to rationalize and shirk responsibility. What is that saying about having the best intentions?
