I really don't think either action is wrong.

You don't think it's wrong to lie?

Nah, I don't think it is especially wrong to lie.

Then you are in a bad moral place.

Well I'm sharing it with 99.99% of humankind

You think nearly all humankind don't care about lying?

Of course, there are gradations of lie. Some are fairly harmless, like telling your wife her butt doesn't look fat in those jeans. Some are more harmful.

But it matters. So much of our relations with others is contractual that if we all took the attitude that lying didn't matter, our worlds would fall apart.

I'm not claiming anything. I lie when I feel I have to, but I don't pretend to think it's morally unimportant.

[ QUOTE ]
If anything I'm the one being honest here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I don't think so. I think you expect honesty from people around you. I think you count on it. We all do.
