Life/Lie

Hi Guys

Just a random thought I had...would the following statement make sense?

- To live life is to lie with a 'F'

No one likes being lied to, and yet we lie to each other on a constant basis. Some cite is as a survival instinct, while others do not think it is such a big problem. Lies are pretty general in nature and truthfully, are convenient ways to sin. Part of the dreaded 'comfortable sin' contingent, that silently catches us off guard.

That could bring us to another question:

The word 'right' in the moral sense. Would it be possible to have a lie 'right'? Of course this would conjure a whole torrent of debate and I don't have the capacity to craft one anyway. It is in these ambiguous situations that we should seek some direction.

In the Christian view, lying is to be avoided, as it leads to deceit. I do not doubt that Biblical figures have lied before. I admit here that none of us are free from lies as long as we live on this Earth. Even I lie. At times it may seem foolish to stick to telling the truth...that's where we need wisdom.

It doesn't mean we can freely state 'I asked God for wisdom' and act like how we would want to. Asking for wisdom is not just some effortless prayer to the sky above either. It also involves a commitment to reinforce one's theological foundations (study the Bible, ask questions to others...etc), and also ultimately being responsible of one's choices.

Quite a sticky situation right? Man I need to read more.
