10 Commandments of Ethical Dishonesty



Hi all,

Here is something that I think is essential. The "Ten Commandments of Ethical Dishonesty."
So far I have appreciated the show's plots emphasizing the complex reasons people lie.

Dr. Susan Block’s 10 Commandments of Ethical Dishonesty*

1. Thou shalt always tell the truth--except under certain critical circumstances.

2. Thou shalt lie to save lives.

3. Thou shalt sometimes lie or withhold full disclosure of the truth to protect thyself, thy loved ones and thy country from evil, madness and mayhem.

4. Thou shalt sometimes lie to help the needy.

5. Thou shalt honor life over truth. Beware of truth-mongering zealots!

6. Thou shalt sometimes lie to inspire hope.

7. Thou shalt lie when planning a surprise party or other playful, loving endeavors.

8. Thou shalt sometimes lie out of kindness and good manners.

9. Thou shalt lie when creating fictional art, literature, tall tales, fantasies, fairy tales and fish stories.

10. Thou shalt lie as little as possible; thou shalt not lie beyond one’s needs.
