Lying

everyone in the world lies, however the question that may accrue to us is that is it OK to lie? whether it is in to help others or to get oneself out of trouble? this all depends on moral. if one was in trouble would u lie for them? this may also depend on the situation. however different theories have different perspectives about this. Agustine explains that god forbade all lies however, Kant himself qwuestions others that should one lie order to save ones friend? or should one tell the truth realistically most people would lie to save a friend, therefore if one was to tell the truth that being would have lost thier friendship, thus the world would not be a better place if everyone was to tell the truth. however, some may argue that it is acceptable to lie. some may suggest that excuses, gossopping comes under as some form of way of lying.
